Parliament intruder Manoranjan: Engineer hooked to books and travel

Manoranjan D, accused of a security breach inside the Lok Sabha, opened a canister of yellow smoke. He might have been influenced by social media groups, including a 'Bhagat Singh Fan Page'. Manoranjan, an engineering graduate, had the support of former PM H D Devegowda. He is a supporter of BJP MP Pratap Simmha, whose team issued the pass for him to enter Parliament. Manoranjan's family last saw him in Mysuru on December 11 before he went to Bengaluru and then Delhi.
