On Tuesday, a Delhi court sent Sarabjeet Singh, 37, to eight days in police custody following his breach of security at the Delhi Assembly. Singh allegedly drove an SUV through barricades around 2:10 PM on Monday, damaging gates and placing a bouquet in Speaker Vijender Gupta's car before leaving the scene. The police noted Singh's connections to the 2020-21 farmers' agitation, during which he expressed support for deceased protesters on social media. They are investigating a potential conspiracy and a possible terror angle, as Singh reportedly discarded his phone before the incident. His defense counsel claimed he is mentally unstable, having left home to visit his sister without informing his family. However, the judge questioned the credibility of this claim, given Singh's ability to drive long distances. The case raises important security concerns regarding the safety of legislative premises in Delhi.
