On Monday, Sarabjit Singh, a resident of Pilibhit district in Uttar Pradesh, breached security at the Delhi Legislative Assembly by ramming his car through barricades. He placed a bouquet of artificial flowers in the car of Speaker Vijender Gupta before exiting the premises. The incident, which lasted approximately five minutes, raised serious concerns about security at one of the most secure locations in New Delhi. Singh was arrested two hours later in Roop Nagar after police identified him through CCTV footage and his car's registration number. Authorities have indicated that Singh may be mentally unsound and had come to Delhi to search for a missing relative. The incident has prompted criticism from the opposition Aam Aadmi Party regarding the adequacy of security measures, especially as only 50 police personnel were deployed at the time, a reduction from the usual 80 personnel during Assembly sessions.
