After a major security breach in the Lok Sabha earlier in the day, the police on Wednesday evening beefed up security in and around the Maharashtra Legislature in Nagpur where the winter session is currently on, even as the police raided the home of one of the four suspects involved in the breach at Latur and questioned his parents.   

Within hours after one of the four miscreants breached security and created a commotion in Lok Sabha on the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack, the police deployed additional security personnel in and around the legislature complex where security checks were intensified and a vigilance is being maintained on the roads leading to the Vidhan Bhavan.

On his part, Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis — who holds the home portfolio — spoke to State Director-General of Police Rajnish Sheth and directed him to investigate the antecedents of Amol Shinde of Zari village in Latur district, who is one of the four persons arrested in the Parliament security breach.

Meanwhile, the two teams of Latur Police swooped on the home of Amol Shinde (25) and searched cupboards and other storage places, in their effort to  look for documents, literature or any other pieces of evidence that would link to the Parliament incident.

Amol’s parents told the police that their son had left home two weeks ago saying he was going to New Delhi.  They claimed that their son had not told them anything about the purpose of his visit to the national capital.

More details about Amol, including his antecedents, his friends, relatives and acquaintances and his links, if any, with questionable organisations and persons engaged in subversive activities, will emerge, when the Delhi police subject him to custodial interrogation in the coming days.
