Masked man drives into Delhi Assembly, raising security concerns after placing a bouquet near the Speaker's office.

A car driven by a masked man barged into the Delhi Assembly premises through one of the gates, leading to a security scare on Monday (April 6, 2026) afternoon, officials said.

The car, bearing an Uttar Pradesh registration number, broke through Gate No. 2 around 2 p.m., they said.

“The driver proceeded towards the office of Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta and placed a flower bouquet near the porch before retreating,” said a Delhi Secretariat official.

Police have launched a hunt for the car and its driver.

The incident has raised security concerns and authorities are treating it as a potential security breach, he said.

The breach follows threats received by the Assembly during the recently concluded Budget session.
