Hindustan TimesShock was writ large on the faces of the family members of Sagar Sharma, 27, at their two-room rented dwelling in Ramnagar locality of Lucknow’s Alambagh after they came to know that he was one of the intruders who jumped into the Lok Sabha on Wednesday and set off a smoke canister inside the legislature. I had last spoken with him over the telephone yesterday, but never knew about any plan to breach parliament security," his mother Rani Sharma said as HT visited the house. His maternal grandmother Uma Sharma, who stayed in the same locality, also expressed surprise over Sagar’s alleged involvement in the Parliament security breach. “We met through a protest organised by a student wing of a group and I was amazed by his knowledge, though he studied only till Class 12,” the close associate said, asking not to be named “He was very active in political movements and I would see him at every protest in the city,” the same associate said, adding that later he also joined a local political party in Lucknow and was seen posting pictures with them.
