Five policemen have been suspended for the security breach at the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly recently. Three unauthorised youngsters had jumped into the well of the House shouting slogans against the Omar Abdullah government’s employment policies.

The police said that the three were identified as Manish Khajuria, Sunny Malhotra and Ambedkar Gupta. Sources say the youth had been issued passes on the recommendation of MLA Jagdish Sapolia.

Speaker Mohammad Akbar Lone termed the incident as contempt of the august House and directed the Secretary of the Legislative Assembly to initiate proceedings against the offenders including the abettor (MLA). Lone said action will be taken against the youths as well as the MLA who had facilitated their entry into the House.
