The security breach unfolded on the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack during Zero Hour. Intruders breached the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitor gallery. Two men jumped into the House, wielding canisters, and released yellow gas while chanting slogans.
However, the surprising sight of Members of Parliament actively engaging in apprehending one of the intruders escalated into a tumultuous scene as a few leaders took it upon themselves to confront and detain the perpetrator. In a rare display of courage and unity, while some panicked and rushed out, a handful of leaders valiantly confronted and restrained the intruder, resorting to slapping and punching to immobilize the individual.
