In response to a significant security breach, the Delhi Assembly will implement an integrated alarm system and conduct monthly mock security drills. The decision follows an incident where Sarabjit Singh, a 37-year-old businessman from Uttar Pradesh, broke through barricades and entered the Assembly complex, briefly sitting in the Speaker's car and leaving flowers before escaping. He was arrested two hours later. Following the breach, two Delhi Police personnel and one Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) member were suspended for inadequate security measures. A police investigation is ongoing to determine Singh's motives, which may be linked to his mental health issues and distress over his nephew's disappearance. The incident has raised serious questions about security at one of the most protected buildings in New Delhi.
