Rajasthan when the police were looking for him. Kumawat was also responsible for destroying the

mobile phones of the four accused who were arrested in the Parliament security breach case on the day

of the incident.

Delhi Police officials said that Mahesh Kumawat was in contact with Neelam Devi who had been

protesting outside the Lok Sabha when her co-conspirators launched the smoke bomb attack inside the

Lok Sabha.

Mahesh's cousin Kailash is also being questioned by the Delhi Police in relation to the case, but he has

not been arrested yet.

On December 13, two men from the visitors’ gallery jumped into the well of the Lower House of the

Parliament from the public gallery above the seating and threw smoke cannisters that emitted yellow

smoke, throwing the proceedings into complete disarray.

During this time, two other members of their group, Neelam Devi, and Amol Shinde, started protesting

outside the Parliament and launched coloured smoke bombs into the air while yelling slogans,

“Tanashahi nahi chalegi.”

The police have said that the accused wanted to create anarchy in the country and draw attention and

force the government to meet their demands.
