These suspended personnel have been identified as Rampal, Arvind Vir Das, Ganesh, Anil, Pradeep, Vimitt, and Narendra.A major security breach took place inside the Lok Sabha when two intruders entered the House chamber from the visitor gallery during Zero Hour on the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack.
