In a significant security breach, three labourers from Uttar Pradesh were arrested after attempting to enter the high-security Parliament complex using forged Aadhaar cards. The Delhi Police detained the accused, identified as Kasim, Monis, and Soyeb, on charges of forgery and cheating.
The incident occurred on Tuesday when the trio was intercepted by CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) personnel at the flap gate entry of Parliament House while standing in a queue for a security check. The labourers presented their Aadhaar cards, which aroused suspicion among the CISF personnel. Upon further scrutiny, the documents were confirmed to be forged.
Investigations revealed that the three men were hired by Dee Vee Projects Limited and were engaged in the construction of the MP’s lounge inside the Parliament complex. Their attempt to gain unauthorized access raised serious security concerns, leading to immediate action by the authorities.
Following the detection of the forged documents, the CISF personnel handed over the three accused to the Delhi Police. An FIR was registered against them under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including Section 465 (forgery), Section 419 (cheating by personation), Section 120B (criminal conspiracy), Section 471 (using as genuine a forged document), and Section 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating).
This incident comes in the wake of the CISF taking over the entire security of the Parliament complex, replacing the CRPF and Delhi Police contingents. The CISF’s vigilance and prompt action in this case highlight the critical importance of stringent security measures in safeguarding the nation’s legislative buildings.
As the investigation continues, the Delhi Police are working to determine the full extent of the conspiracy and any potential security lapses. This incident underscores the ongoing need for rigorous verification processes and the highest standards of security protocols within the Parliament complex.
