Mahesh Kumawat has been sent to 7-day police custody.
Delhi police today made the sixth arrest in the Parliament security breach case where two men jumped into the House and released coloured smoke. Mahesh Kumawat was taken into custody today for allegedly helping the 'mastermind' Lalit Jha escape from Delhi.
Mahesh Kumawat had come on his own to a police station along with Lalit Jha Thursday night and both were handed over to the Special Cell, the officer said. He was being interrogated since then.
He was a member of the now deleted Bhagat Singh Fan Club page created by the accused.
Kumawat has been arrested on charges of destruction of evidence and criminal conspiracy, police said.
He has been sent to 7-day police custody. Special Judge Hardeep Kaur remanded Kumawat in Delhi police's custody after the public prosecutor alleged that he was involved in the destruction of mobile phones of the accused.
The prosecutor also alleged that he was involved in a plot to spread anarchy in the country and was required to be questioned to unearth the entire conspiracy.
Sources said police are likely to seek the Parliament's permission to recreate the December 13 incident that unfolded on the anniversary of the 2001 attack on it.
Police are also questioning Lalit Jha, who they believe is the 'mastermind' behind the breach. Jha, who hails from West Bengal, was sent to seven-day police custody on Friday after his arrest last night. Police claimed in the Patiala House court that he admitted that the accused met many times to hatch the conspiracy to breach Parliament security.
Besides, he was also required to be interrogated to ascertain whether the accused had association with any enemy country or terrorist organisation, police said.
