NEW DELHI: Before the security breach at Parliament, Sagar Sharma, one of the accused, wrote on Instagram that making an effort is important regardless of victory or defeat. He also posted another post saying that if you want to achieve your dreams, you have to work hard.

"Jeete ya hare, par koshish to zaruri hai" (Making an effort is important whether you win or lose)., Sagar's Instagram status reads.

Another accused, Neelam Azad, was active on social media till November 11. Her last post criticized the lack of women members in the legislature and parliament. "Women should have a 50 per cent reservation in Parliament and the Legislative Assembly. In Haryana, there is a 50 per cent reservation for women in Gram Panchayats, so why not in the Parliament and Legislative Assembly?", her post on X reads.

Before this post, she was active on X in June when she shared a post on the attack on Chandrashekhar Azad, leader of the Bhim Army and the President of the Azad Samaj Party.

"By attacking bhai (brother) Chandershekhar Azad, it has been proven that whoever raises the voice for the rights of the Dalits and the underprivileged can be killed to suppress their voice. Democracy is being murdered. Criminals should be given strict punishment, (Azad) should be given security.", she wrote on X.

Lucknow resident Sagar Sharma, Mysuru native D Manoranjan, Haryana's Hisar resident Neelam Devi and Maharashtra resident Amol Shinde were arrested yesterday at the scene of the incident. The accomplice, Lalit Jha, was later arrested. A search is on for another accomplice, Vicky Sharma. The gang hatched the conspiracy while staying at Lalit Jha's house.

Sagar Sharma and D Manoranjan, who were sitting in the front row of the visitor's gallery near the media gallery of the Lok Sabha, jumped down from a height of three meters to the Lok Sabha chambers at 12.55 pm on Wednesday. Jumping over the desks of MP, they shouted slogans and moved towards the Speaker's seat. They also opened a smoke canister hidden in the shoes.

Sagar Sharma was subdued by RLP MP Hanuman Beniwal and Congress' Gurjit Singh Ojla. Later Manoranjan was also arrested. After yellow smoke spread inside the House, MPs rushed out fearing inhalation of poison.

The security breach happened on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack as the intruders managed to bypass a 4-level security system.

At the time of the incident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Bhopal to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister. Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Hardeep Singh Puri, Anupriya Patel, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Kerala MPs K Muraleedharan, MK Raghavan, Dean Kuriakose, Benny Behanan, and Remya Haridas were among the MPs present in Lok Sabha.
