Lalit Jha is currently being interrogated by the Special Cell
Days after the Parliament security breach had shocked the nation, the parents of the alleged mastermind Lalit Jha, are still in a state of disbelief. Jha's father Devanand, who practices priestcraft in Kolkata to make ends meet, is visibly discomfited by the attention his dilapidated ancestral house in Bihar has since been attracting.
Jha's parents allege that he has been held under stringent UAPA
"I came to know about my son's arrest through other people. As you all can see, we do not even own a TV set," Devanand Jha told journalists at his house in Rampur Uday, a nondescript village in Darbhanga district.
His wife Manjula, who looked dazed, screamed amid sobs "My child is not a rogue. He cannot indulge in wrongdoings. He has always loved to help people. He has donated his blood three times."
