The judge also directed them not to give interviews to media outlets or make social media posts related to the incident.

The accused had challenged a trial court's order rejecting their bail plea.

In a major security breach on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack, accused Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D allegedly jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, released yellow gas from canisters and sloganeered before they were overpowered by some MPs.
