As the fallout from Bhagwant Mann’s Facebook Live video from inside the Lok Sabha premises on Monday reached its peak, Speaker of the House Sumitra Mahajan barred the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP from attending the proceedings until the probe is complete.

His detractors have claimed that his video was a clear breach of security. No media house is allowed to shoot the Parliament as the rights are exclusive to the government channels.

On the first day of the second week of the ongoing Monsoon Session, Mahajan said that a nine-member panel will probe Mann’s video and submit the report in August.
