During a search of his car, officers allegedly recovered a medical file belonging to a patient admitted to a hospital in Karnal. Sarabjeet could not give any specific reason why he had that file with him or his connection with the patient, they added. An officer said they have reached out to the hospital to find out if at all there is a connection between Sarabjeet and the patient.Further, officers said that the probe has revealed that Sarabjeet was undergoing treatment for depression at a hospital in Uttar Pradesh’s Shahjahanpur, though no documents have yet been recovered to substantiate the claim.The Delhi Police on Tuesday night, meanwhile, suspended two officers of its security unit – a sub-inspector and an assistant sub-inspector – in connection with the security breach incident.On Wednesday, Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta directed that immediate measures, including installation of hydraulic road blockers at all gates of the Assembly complex and creation of a more responsive on ground security mechanism, be taken up. “The security of the Delhi Assembly cannot admit to the slightest lapse. It must rest on vigilance, clarity of command and seamless coordination at every level,” he said.Story continues below this adThe directions were issued in a high-level meeting chaired by Gupta and attended by senior officers from Delhi Police, CRPF, IB and other concerned departments of Delhi government.Gupta called for a unified command structure between CRPF and Delhi Police, with a single point of authority to ensure coordinated and immediate response in critical situations, officials said. He also noted that any delay in communication weakens response capability, and directed that real-time information sharing between all agencies be treated as essential to operational readiness. Further, he recommended that each gate be manned by a minimum of two trained personnel of Delhi Police/CRPF.Gupta also stressed that no vehicle should be permitted entry without proper security clearance and verification under any circumstances. He directed the deployment of a dedicated mobile patrol vehicle capable of swift movement and immediate intervention, including the ability to intercept or block unauthorised movement, said officials.The responsibility for securing the Delhi Assembly lies jointly with the CRPF and Delhi Police with CRPF personnel deployed at all five gates of the complex, including Gate 2, through which Sarabjeet entered.
