A Delhi court has ordered Sarabjeet Singh to remain in police custody for eight days following a security breach at the Delhi Assembly. Singh drove his SUV through Gate No 2, designated for VIP access, and allegedly attempted to run over security personnel twice. The police are investigating a possible conspiracy and a terror angle, as they have yet to recover Singh's phone, which he reportedly discarded. Singh's defense claims he is mentally unstable, having undergone treatment for several months, and mistakenly entered the assembly believing it to be a gurdwara. However, the judge questioned the credibility of this defense, particularly given Singh's ability to drive a long distance. Charges against him include attempt to murder, criminal trespass, and obstruction of public servants, among others. The incident raises significant concerns regarding security protocols at the assembly and the motivations behind Singh's actions.
