Major Security Lapse In Parliament, Two Men Jump Into Lok Sabha And Spray Smoke

New Delhi, December 13 (TNA) The Lok Sabha was plunged into chaos on Wednesday when two men carrying smoke canisters emitting an as yet unidentified yellow smoke, jumped from the visitors' gallery and ran into the Lok Sabha chamber during the zero hour.

Footage from the House's CCTV system showed one man, wearing a dark blue shirt, leaping across desks to evade capture, while the second was in the visitors' gallery spraying smoke. Both men were overpowered by MPs and security staff.

Lok Sabha resumed at 2 pm, with Speaker Om Birla making a brief statement. "We are investigating the matter and have asked Delhi Police to join the inquiry," he told agitated MPs. Both the men were caught and the materials with them have also been seized.
