Three students allegedly drunk breached the security at Rashtrapati Bhavan and were detained by the Delhi Police and were questioned by the Intelligence Bureau. Police said the students removed the barricade outside the gate number 35 and entered the high-security zone on their bike.

The students had travelled almost a kilometre inside the Rashtrapati Bhawan before they were caught. “Kumar Abhishek, 20, an engineering student, Vishal Rana, 21, a final year CA student and Janak Bhatt, 22, a CA student, trespassed into Rashtrapati Bhawan from the North Avenue side at 3.30 am. They were under the influence of alcohol,” a senior police officer said.

“They claimed that they forgot the route and entered Rashtrapati Bhawan by mistake. They were prosecuted for traffic violation and driving under the influence of alcohol. They are residents of east Delhi and will be produced in the court on Monday,” he said.
