Sarabjit Singh, the driver arrested for allegedly breaching security at the Delhi Legislative Assembly, provided a disoriented account of the incident, claiming he was influenced by opium while searching for his missing nephew. Singh was apprehended by police in north Delhi's Roop Nagar after a 'be on the lookout' notice was issued following the breach. His family, who traveled from Pilibhit district in Uttar Pradesh, described him as mentally unstable and reported that he had been missing for five days prior to the incident. Singh's mother noted that he often isolates himself and has difficulty managing his behavior during episodes of instability. He stated that he was distraught over his nephew Harman's disappearance on April 2 and had embarked on a road trip to pray for his safe return. Police are verifying Singh's claims, confirming the narrative of the missing child, and noted that he appeared incoherent during the interrogation. A high-level committee, overseen by an officer of Additional Director General rank, has been established to investigate the security breach.
