The CRPF brass, led by an ADG-level officer, Intelligence Bureau officials and city top cops, including the Delhi Police chief, met on Monday evening for a review and plan of action. The security of assembly speaker <!-- -->Vijender Gupta<!-- --> is being reviewed, and he is likely to be accorded Z category, sources said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Explaining the security setup, sources said there are six gates in the assembly, of which four are permanently shut. The two gates used for entry\/exit had heavy deployment, besides frisking equipment. About 30-40 personnel from CRPF and Delhi Police each were deployed at these spots.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/> <\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"High drama at Delhi assembly\" msid=\"130073231\" width=\"\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/msid-130073231\/high-drama-at-delhi-assembly.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Singh used neither the entry nor the exit gates, but instead barged his way in from one of the closed gates from the Mall Road side.

Cops are looking into Singh\u2019s antecedents, and a CDR and IPDR analysis is being conducted on his number\/s and social media accounts.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>The police brass is alarmed as the assembly has been on the radar of terrorists, with intelligence inputs often flagging such plots. The Red Fort suicide bomber, Umar-un-Nabi, also had an explosives-laden car close to the assembly. \u201cThe bomb hoaxes in the past few days should have entailed proper security checks and flagged gaps, if any,\u201d said a retired senior cop.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/delhi\/delhi-assembly-car-breach-exposes-major-security-lapses-high-level-probe-ordered-crpf-role-under-scrutiny\/articleshow\/130068527.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: The security breach by car number UP26AZ8090, driven by Sarabjit Singh (37), has exposed serious lacunae in the security apparatus of Delhi assembly, a high-security zone guarded by&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":102603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-stories"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/the-bouquet-of-red-flowers-left-behind-by-sarabjit-singh-l-who-was-in-the-high-security-premises-for.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
