2 detained for protesting outside Parliament carrying cans that emitted yellowish smoke

A man and a woman were detained on Wednesday while they were protesting outside the Parliament building carrying cans that emitted a yellowish and red smoke, police said here.

The incident happened minutes after two people jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery and opened canisters that emitted a similar-coloured smoke, triggering panic among the MPs.

The Delhi Police’s Special Cell will investigate both the incidents, according to officials.
