However, the court sent them to 7-day police custody.
In the court, the police accused the four of indulging in an act of terrorism and said they tried to incite fear.
The police said that the accused had gotten special shoes made in Lucknow to hide smoke canisters that were used in the attack.
It also told the court that the accused had a pamphlet showing PM Modi as a missing person. The pamphlet said that anyone who finds the PM will be paid a reward, Bar & Bench reported.
“Their right was limited to gallery. They jumped from the (visitors) gallery into the Well, which was trespass. They hid (smoke) canister in their shoes.”
“Special shoes were made in Lucknow which needs to be probed. They need to be taken to Mumbai, Mysore and Lucknow for probe,” the police told the judge.
The prosecution said that custodial interrogation of the accused was necessary to find out the actual motive behind the incident and whether other people were also involved.
The court appointed a legal aid counsel for the accused after they said they didn’t have a lawyer to represent them.
In a massive security scare on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack, two intruders, Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors’ gallery, unleashed yellow coloured smoke from canisters and shouted slogans.
The intruders were overpowered by some MPs who thrashed them and handed them over to the watch and ward staff.
At the same time, two other accused, Amol Shinde and Neelam Azad, sprayed coloured gas from canisters while shouting “tanashahi nahi chalegi” outside Parliament premises.
The four were immediately taken into custody, while their accomplice Vishal, in whose house the accused stayed before reaching Parliament, was detained later from Gurugram.
The sixth accused Lalit Jha, who is said to be the mastermind of the security breach, is on the run.
