A major security scare unfolded at the Delhi Legislative Assembly complex on Monday afternoon when a masked man driving a white SUV with a Uttar Pradesh registration number rammed through Gate No. 2, breached multiple security layers, placed a flower bouquet near the porch of Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta’s office, and fled the premises.
The incident occurred around 2 PM when the vehicle forcefully broke through the iron gate and barricades at the high-security VIP entrance. The driver, wearing a mask, proceeded directly towards the Speaker’s office inside the complex before stopping briefly to leave the bouquet. Security personnel attempted to intercept the car, but the intruder managed to escape shortly after.
Delhi Police have launched a search operation to trace the vehicle and identify the driver. Preliminary inquiries have raised serious concerns over lapses in the multi-layered security arrangements at the assembly complex. No explosives or suspicious items were reported in the bouquet, but authorities are treating the episode as a potential security breach amid heightened vigilance in the national capital.
Speaker Vijender Gupta and assembly officials have been briefed, and an investigation is underway to determine the motive behind the bizarre act, which has exposed vulnerabilities in the protection of the legislative building.
