Sagar Sharma, one of the individuals involved in the security breach, has been identified, and according to MP Danish Ali, his visitor pass was signed by BJP's Mysuru MP Pratap Simha.

The other intruder has been identified as Manoranjan. While both intruders have been detained, Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora and other senior officers visited the Parliament House complex to take stock of the matter.

Soon after the breach, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla informed the House that four persons had been arrested - two from inside the House, and two from outside Parliament in connection with the incident.
