NEW DELHI: The police informed that the five-member group that broke into the Parliament had planned to set themselves on fire. The Delhi Police investigating the case explained that they also intended to distribute leaflets inside the building. The police said that the idea was abandoned when they could not get the cream to apply to the body to prevent burns.

These things came to light when Lalit Jha, who is believed to be the main planner of the Parliament attack, was questioned. When the first plan of self-immolation could not be implemented, it was changed to plan B of using smoke canisters.

The police will record the statement of BJP MP Pratap Simha regarding the incident. Earlier it was found that the assailants entered the Parliament using the pass obtained on the recommendation of Pratap Simha. The protestors who entered the parliament building have been identified as Sagar Sharma and D Manoranjan.

Amol Shinde and Neelam Devi protested outside the Parliament at the same time. The fifth person, Lalit Jha spread the footage of this through social media. Police arrested the four immediately after the incident and Lalit Jha later. UAPA has been charged against the accused. Meanwhile, there are reports that one more person has been arrested in the case. Mahesh Kumawat, a resident of Rajasthan's Nagor district, was arrested on Saturday.
