Bengaluru: Two individuals responsible for creating chaos during the Lok Sabha session have been identified and handed over to the security officials, according to reports. Both individuals, allegedly involved in disrupting the proceedings, are identified as Manoranjan from Mysuru and Sagar Sharma.

Upon inquiry, Manoranjan’s father, Devraje Gowda, expressed uncertainty about his son’s whereabouts and activities.

He stated that Manoranjan completed his engineering studies in 2014 and has been travelling to Delhi and Bengaluru engaging in activities unknown to his family. The father added that if his son is found guilty, he should face consequences.

Devaraje Gowda, said his son was a ”good boy.” ”My son is a good boy. He is honest and truthful. His only desire is to do good for the society and sacrifice for the society. He used to read Swami Vivekananda’s books. I think he developed such thoughts after reading these books,” Gowda told reporters.

”It is difficult to understand what was running in his mind. My son completed his BE (Bachelor in Engineering) in 2016 and was looking after the farm. He also worked in some firms in Delhi and Bengaluru,” he added.

Manoranjan and another person, Sagar Sharma jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the pubic gallery and released yellow-coloured smoke from canisters, triggering panic among the Members of Parliament.

They also shouted slogans before being overpowered by MPs.

In the case related to the breach of security at the Lok Sabha, Manoranjan, along with Sagar Sharma, is reported to be among the four individuals taken into custody by the security officials.

The investigation involves questioning the individuals, including Manoranjan, Sagar Sharma, and Neelam, to ascertain their involvement in the incident.

The individuals had entered the Lok Sabha proceedings allegedly using Mysuru MP Pratap Simha’s passes.

The incident, characterized by a breach of decorum during the Lok Sabha proceedings, is now under scrutiny, with a thorough investigation being conducted to determine the motive and actions of those involved.

It is noteworthy that both Manoranjan and Sagar Sharma have reportedly passed through the Lok Sabha gallery, leading to their identification and subsequent handover to the authorities.
