The father of Sagar Sharma, one of the accused in the Parliament security breach case, has asserted that his son was influenced by a friend from Bengaluru to undertake the disruptive act. Despite the family’s attempts to dissuade him, Sagar, an e-rickshaw driver, appeared determined to make a significant statement. Sagar’s father revealed that his son had talked about doing something big, and his sister had discovered him planning with his Bengaluru friend over the phone.
The father claims that Sagar was brainwashed by his Bengaluru-based friend, calling for punishment for those at fault. Sagar, an admirer of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, expressed discontent with the government. His family is now under scrutiny by security agencies, and the UP ATS is investigating potential ties with CPI (Maoist) modules in Bengaluru and Rajasthan.
