"Security Breach: Man's Smoke Can Stunt Shocks Indian Parliament"

A man breached security at India's parliament by jumping into the lawmakers' area, shouting slogans, and setting off a smoke can. The incident occurred on the 22nd anniversary of a deadly attack on the complex. The intruder was caught and surrounded by security staff and lawmakers, and four people, including the man, were arrested. Lawmakers expressed concern over the security lapse and reported hearing slogans and witnessing smoke. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not present at the time. The lower house briefly halted proceedings but resumed business later. Investigations revealed that the smoke released was "ordinary smoke." The incident has prompted a temporary halt in issuing visitor passes and a comprehensive security review.
