New Delhi: The Delhi Police announced on Friday that they have launched an investigation and filed an FIR against three individuals who allegedly used fake Aadhar cards to gain entry into the Parliament complex on May 4.

The FIR states that one of the accused, Kasim, was using an Aadhar card belonging to Monis, a resident of Amroha, Uttar Pradesh. Monis, who was also among the three apprehended, presented the same identity card. The third individual, Soyab, had an identity card showing him as a resident of Hapur, Uttar Pradesh.

The trio attempted to enter the Parliament complex using these identity cards while applying for a casual entry pass. According to the police, the three individuals are believed to be employed by a contractor. The Aadhar cards of Monis and Kasim bear the same number but with different photographs, indicating they may be forged. Soyab’s identity is currently under investigation.

The incident occurred on the afternoon of May 4, and the FIR has been registered under Sections 419, 465, 468, 471, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. The police have seized all three identity cards, and a comprehensive investigation is underway.

This incident also comes to light a day after Delhi Lt Governor V.K. Saxena granted prosecution sanction against six people arrested for illegally entering Parliament and throwing smoke canisters in the Lok Sabha last December.
