In a dramatic twist following the recent security lapse at the nation’s capital, Sarabjit Singh, the driver arrested in connection with the audacious Delhi Assembly breach, has offered a bewildering account to police: “Someone fed me opium.” His disoriented statements are now at the heart of an escalating investigation into how a vehicle managed to ram through the high-security premises.
Singh, intercepted in Roop Nagar, north Delhi, after an intense “BOLO” (be on the lookout) alert, appeared profoundly confused during initial interrogation. “I was looking for my missing nephew… I don’t know what happened, but I did not do anything wrong,” he murmured to SHO Ramesh Chander’s team. This startling declaration has added an unexpected layer of complexity to an already grave incident.
Unraveling the Truth Behind the Delhi Assembly Breach
As authorities grapple with the implications of Singh’s claims, his family has swiftly intervened, painting a picture of a man struggling with mental instability. Traveling urgently from Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, they presented documented psychiatric records to the police, vehemently asserting his innocence and absence of any prior criminal record. His mother described episodes where his behavior becomes unmanageable, leading him to isolate himself and disregard family advice. “He is mentally unstable. He has been missing from home for five days,” she stated, expressing their complete bewilderment regarding his whereabouts leading up to the incident.
Singh, according to his own testimony, was engulfed in distress over the disappearance of his sister’s son, Harman, on April 2 from Hari Nagar, west Delhi. Driven by desperation, he recounted embarking on a frantic road trip, venturing to Chandigarh and various locales in Punjab, seeking solace and praying for his nephew’s safe return. Police are meticulously verifying these claims, with initial findings confirming the “missing child” narrative. Interestingly, officers noted Singh’s profound incoherence, observing his desire to return to the Assembly premises to “meet some officers” even after the initial intrusion. It was around this time he reportedly encountered two other individuals, including a taxi driver, to whom he gave money, hoping to connect with a high-ranking official who could aid his search.
Despite these unfolding personal narratives, CCTV footage categorically confirms Singh was alone when his SUV forced its way through a boundary gate. The gravity of the situation has prompted the establishment of a high-level committee to probe the entire security mechanism surrounding the incident. This critical investigation into the Delhi Assembly breach will be overseen by an Additional Director General (ADG) ranked officer, ensuring a thorough and uncompromising review. For broader understanding of parliamentary security protocols, one might review various Indian news reports on legislative safety measures.
