Top Intelligence sources have told CNN-News18 that as per the last-minute plan of the four arrested accused including a man and a woman who protested outside parliament Sharma and Manoranjan would enter the lok sabha along with the canister that was purchased in Latur and shoes brought from lucknow Sharma’s home town.“They held a meeting at india gate for around half-an-hour. Sharma and Manoranjan were given a yellow-coloured smoke bomb each which they hid in the cavity of their shoes. Around noon, Sharma and Manoranjan entered parliament and threw the smoke bombs,” the sources said. They added that it was decided in the meeting at india gate that instead of throwing the smoke bomb, they would hold it in their hands to show the canisters were harmless.
