Delhi Assembly Breach Suspect Claims Opium Drugging, Family Shows Psychiatric Records
In a startling development following the security breach at the Delhi Assembly, suspect Sarabjit Singh has claimed he was fed opium while searching for his missing nephew. Police intercepted Singh in north Delhi's Roop Nagar area, where he appeared incoherent during a spot interrogation led by SHO Ramesh Chander.
Police Apprehension and Family Intervention
Chander and his team apprehended Singh after a 'BOLO' (be on the lookout) notice was issued to intercept the vehicle involved in Monday's assembly breach. Singh's family rushed from UP's Pilibhit upon hearing the news, providing police with documents related to his psychiatric treatment. They asserted his innocence and emphasized he has no criminal record.
Missing Child Narrative and Distraught Journey
Singh told investigators he became distraught after his sister's son, Harman, went missing on April 2 from west Delhi's Hari Nagar. In his anxious search, he embarked on a road trip to Chandigarh and other locations in Punjab to pray for the child's safe return. Police have confirmed this missing child narrative is being corroborated.
Incoherent Behavior and CCTV Evidence
Authorities noted Singh was so incoherent that even after exiting the assembly premises, he wanted to return to "meet some officers." He then encountered two other individuals, including a taxi driver, whom he paid to take him to a "high-ranking official" for assistance. CCTV footage confirmed Singh was alone during the breach incident.
Family Background and Social Media Presence
Sarabjit Singh belongs to a financially stable family with substantial agricultural land in Pilibhit's Tarai belt, and some relatives are involved in the transport business. His father, Kulwant Singh, passed away some time ago. On Facebook, Singh claims to run his own business, having completed school education at Springdale College and pursued further studies at a Bareilly college.
The SUV involved in the incident appeared in two social media reels—one showing the car being washed and another with Singh driving at 183kmph. He has also posted content supporting the farmers' protest, adding another layer to his personal profile.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the breach, weighing Singh's claims of opium drugging against the security implications of the incident. The combination of psychiatric documentation, family testimony, and the confirmed missing child case presents a complex picture for authorities to unravel.
