Bagalkote: Father of a techie who has been picked up for questioning by Delhi Police from Bagalkote, expressed his confidence in his son's return in two days, in an exclusive interaction with ETV Bharat. He said his son has been 'summoned' by the Delhi Police in connection with the December 13 Parliament security breach.
A 30-year-old Saikrishna Jagali, son of retired Deputy Superintendent of Police of Bagalakote, Vittal Jagali, is currently appearing before the Delhi Police, probing the antecdents of Manoranjan who jumped into Lok Sabha from the visitors gallery before being overpowered by the MPs.
While interrogating Manoranjan, the police have collected the information regarding his friends and roommates. As per sources, Saikrishna was Manoranjan's batchmate at the Bangalore Institute of Technology (BIT) and both of them were staying in the same room for sometime.
Saikrishna's father said that his son was summoned for questioning because Manoranjan and Saikrishna were roommates. "Police will conduct a proper interrogation and send him back in two days. We will give out comprehensive information after he is back," he told Etv Bharat.
On the 22nd anniversary of the Parliamentary attack of 2001, Lok Sabha witnessed a ruckus as Manoranjan and Sagar Sharma jumped into the House opening smoke canisters and shouting slogans while Neelam Devi and Amol Shide, two of their accomplices protested outside the Parliament. Massive questions on the security of the MPs were raised in the House with the opposition demanding a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Speaking to ETV Bharat, District Superintendent of Police (SP) Amarnath Reddy said, "Four officials from Delhi Police are interrogating Saikrishna. They have gone to Delhi via Hyderabad. No further information is available."
As per reports, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP, Pratap Simha's office had provided Manoranjan D with two entry passes. Sources revealed that shoes were not checked in Parliament which enabled the duo to sneak the canisters into the Lok Sabha visitors gallery.
