In a major security scare at the Delhi Assembly, a masked man rammed through the high-security boundary gates of the complex on Monday and also managed to flee without being challenged, thereby exposing the ill-preparedness of security arrangements.​

However, within hours of the search operation, the Delhi Police tracked down the accused and took him into custody from North Delhi. The car he used to enter the Assembly premises by breaking through Gate No 2 has also been seized.​
