Delhi Police Submit Medical Documents of Assembly Security Breach Accused for Psychiatric Evaluation
In a significant development following the security breach at the Delhi Assembly, Delhi Police on Wednesday submitted the medical documents of the accused, Sarabjit Singh, to a government hospital for thorough examination. This move comes as investigators delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding Monday's alarming incident.
Medical History Reveals Long-Term Depression
Police officials confirmed that the medical documents, which were provided by Singh's family members, indicate that he has been suffering from depression for several years and has been undergoing consistent treatment for the condition. The submission of these records to a medical facility is aimed at obtaining a professional assessment of his mental health status at the time of the incident.
Investigators have stated that a formal psychiatric evaluation may also be sought as part of the ongoing probe. This step underscores the police's comprehensive approach to understanding the motivations behind the security breach.
Witness Statements and FIR Details
In connection with the incident, police have recorded statements from at least 10 individuals to gather multiple perspectives on the events. According to the First Information Report (FIR) registered on the complaint of CRPF personnel, the incident unfolded around 2:10 PM on Monday.
The FIR details a sequence of aggressive actions by the accused:
- A white SUV sped towards Gate No. 2 of the Delhi Assembly.
- Despite being signalled to stop, the driver rammed the closed gate, causing damage to both the gate and the boom barrier in an attempt to force entry.
- The driver then allegedly drove towards a CRPF personnel in what appeared to be an attempt to run him over, forcing the security official to jump aside to avoid injury.
- The vehicle proceeded to the main porch, where the driver reportedly threatened security personnel and drove recklessly within the premises, obstructing movement before being detained.
This detailed account highlights the severity of the breach and the potential risks posed to security personnel and assembly infrastructure.
Ongoing Investigation and Legal Proceedings
The case remains under active investigation, with police focusing on both the immediate actions of the accused and the underlying factors, including his medical condition. The combination of witness testimonies, FIR details, and medical evaluations will be crucial in building a comprehensive case.
Authorities are working to ensure that all aspects of the incident are thoroughly examined to determine appropriate legal actions and prevent similar occurrences in the future. The submission of medical documents marks a key step in this process, potentially influencing the legal proceedings based on psychiatric findings.
