Sources said that the police took the accused to India Gate, Sadar Bazaar, and Maharani Bagh.
Sources said that Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, who entered the Parliament, were taken on Wednesday to the shop in Sadar Bazaar from where they had purchased the flags.

Both were also taken to the Maharani Bagh area of New Friends Colony. It is being told that they had held a meeting here to hatch the conspiracy. An officer associated with the investigation said that the accused were taken to these places to connect the sequential links of the entire incident.
On the anniversary of the terrorist attack on Parliament on December 13, 2001, a major lapse in the security of Parliament came to light. During this time, two persons named Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D. jumped into the House from the audience gallery of the Lok Sabha during zero hours and released yellow gas from a 'can' while raising slogans.
Accused in custody till January 5
At the same time, Amol Shinde and Neelam Azad had released colored gas from a 'can' outside the Parliament House premises, raising the slogan 'dictatorship will not work'. A case has been registered against all six accused under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. All six accused are in the custody of Delhi Police till January 5.
Neelam Azad gets a shock from the High Court
The High Court on Thursday refused to hear urgently the habeas corpus petition filed by Neelam Azad, an accused in the Parliament security breach case. Advocate Suresh Kumar appeared on behalf of Neelam before the vacation bench of Justice Neena Bansal Krishna and Justice Shalinder Kaur. They have challenged the validity of the December 21 order of the trial court sending Neelam to police custody, demanding her immediate release from police custody.
High Court refuses to hear immediately
Azad argued that during the remand proceedings, he was not allowed to consult legal practitioners of his choice to defend himself. He was asked only after the disposal of the remand application. The court said that if she wanted to be represented by a lawyer of her choice she replied in the affirmative and an order was passed allowing the petitioner to consult her lawyer. He was produced in court for the first time on December 14 after spending 29 hours in police custody, he said. The advocate said that his client's detention is illegal and hence the petition should be heard immediately.
However, the court said that there is no hurry in this matter. The court fixed the hearing after the vacation i.e. on January 3. Azad was arrested by Delhi Police on December 13 along with three other accused - Sagar Sharma, Manoranjan D, and Amol Shinde. While Azad and Shinde were protesting outside the Parliament House, Sharma, and Manoranjan D entered the Lok Sabha chamber from the audience gallery with smoke canisters. After this, two other accused were also arrested in the case. On December 21, the trial court ordered Delhi Police to share a copy of the FIR with Azad's lawyer. However, on December 22, the High Court had stayed this order.
Police asked permission for a polygraph test
Delhi Police on Thursday filed a petition in the court seeking permission to conduct a polygraph test of all the six accused arrested in the case of violation of Parliament security.
The application was filed before Additional Sessions Judge Hardeep Kaur but she posted the case for hearing on January 2 citing the absence of lawyers for some of the accused.
During the hearing of the petition, the police presented six accused Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Amol Dhanraj Shinde, Neelam Devi, Lalit Jha, and Mahesh Kumawat in the court. All are currently in police custody till January 5. Delhi Police argued that the accused are misleading in the investigation and to unearth the entire conspiracy it is necessary to get a polygraph test done on everyone.
Public prosecutor Akhand Pratap Singh, appearing for Delhi Police, had earlier informed the court that the attack was well-planned. He had further submitted before the court that there was a need for custodial interrogation of the accused to find out the real motive behind the attack and whether they had any connection with any other enemy country or terrorist organizations.
