A Delhi court has sent the man who breached the security at the Delhi assembly premises to eight days in police custody.
The accused, identified as Sarabjeet Singh, is believed to be a follower of the Kisan Andolan, a farmers' agitation that led to PM Narendra Modi taking back three contentious laws concerning the agriculture sector.
Singh had shared several posts on social media expressing support for those who lost their lives during the agitation, and police want to check for a conspiracy.
On Monday, Singh caused the security breach by breaking through barricades while driving an SUV and damaging the iron gates to enter the premises.
He then stepped out of his vehicle and placed a bouquet of flowers in the car of Speaker Vijender Gupta before exiting the same way.
The police suspect a terror angle and sought a 10-day custody of Singh, but the defence counsel argued that he is mentally unstable and had been undergoing regular medical treatment.
