A 20-year-old man was apprehended by the CISF personnel from the Parliament House Complex, an officer said on Saturday.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) handed over the man to the Delhi Police for further investigation, the officer mentioned, adding that nothing incriminating was found in his possession.
The incident comes a day after a man, who was attempting to scale the wall of the Parliament, was arrested by the police.
The man was intercepted by security personnel at around 9:30 on Saturday morning on Raisina Road, between the Rail Bhawan and the Parliament House.
“During the initial inquiry by the officers, it was found that the man came to Delhi from Bengaluru and was supposed to travel to Dubai,” a senior officer said, adding that nothing incriminating was recovered from him, and he has been questioned.
While checking his belongings, a copy of his Aadhaar card and passport was found in his phone. Following the questioning, he was then handed over to the Kartavya Path Police Station for further investigation, the officer stated.
The personnel from the CISF and other security agencies have put in place a ‘proactive’ standard operating procedure (SOP) for security around the Parliament complex after the incident that took place on Friday.
In this case, as part of the procedure, a suspicious or doubtful-looking person will be proactively checked based on the ‘profiling,’ and the person will be handed over to the local police, another security officer said.
Numerous people gather just outside the Parliament House Complex every day to take pictures or simply admire the elegant building.
Only those whose activities look suspicious or threatening are being intercepted to keep the complex safe from any untoward incident, the officer said.
The CISF was inducted to guard the complex last year, replacing the CRPF and other agencies, after the security breach that happened in December 2023.
