Â
Delhi LG VK Saxena, accorded a prosecution sanction against six persons under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), for allegedly attacking the Parliament, on December 13, 2023, while the House proceedings were on.
Delhi Police had requested their prosecution under u/s 16 and 18 of UAPA from the competent authority, i.e., the Lt. Governor, who, having found sufficient material on record, granted prosecution sanction.
While Delhi Police had requested necessary prosecution sanction under UAPA, the Review Committee (DoP, Tis Hazari, Delhi), on May 30, 2024, had also gone through the entire evidence collected by the investigating agency and found the involvement of the accused in Parliament attack case. Accordingly, the review committee noted that prima facie a case was made out against the accused under UAPA.
The Delhi Police had registered a case/FIR, u/s – 186/353/452/153/34/120B of IPC and 13/16/18 UA (P) Act, at the Parliament Street Police Station on the complaint made by the Security officer in the Lok Sabha.
The investigation of the case was later transferred from the Parliament Street Police Station to the Counter Intelligence Unit of the PS Special Cell, New Delhi. During the investigation, the six accused persons were arrested and at present all of them are in judicial custody.
