"Sagar, 25, was arrested from gate no. 1. He hails from Laxmi Nagar and is associated with a religious organisation. He is being questioned at the Parliament Street police station. Intelligence Bureau officials have also arrived for questioning," Deputy commissioner of police (New Delhi) Eish Singhal was quoted as saying by Times of India.
Deputy Commissioner Singhal added that the police recovered the knife and motorcycle from the suspect's possessions. The man lives with his parents, who are street vendors. The motorbike belongs to his brother. After his arrest, he started raising slogans referring to his organisation. The reason behind the act is not clear yet," Singhal said.
