    What's the story

    The Delhi Police has detained a man after he forcibly tried to enter the residence of National Security Advisor Ajit Doval in Delhi on Wednesday morning.

    Reportedly, security personnel deployed outside Doval's house stopped the person and took him into custody.

    The person has been identified as Shantanu Reddy from Karnataka, NDTV reported.

    He is now being interrogated by the Delhi Police's special cell.

    Details

    Intruder claimed he was controlled through chip in his body

    During interrogation, the intruder reportedly claimed that somebody fit a chip inside his body and he is being controlled.

    However, the police rubbished the claim as no chip was detected in an MRI scan.

    "According to the primary investigation, he seems to be mentally disturbed," the police said.

    The police further said that he was driving a rented car.

    Doval is the fifth and current National Security Advisor (NSA) to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    Notably, Doval was on leave from work and present at home on Wednesday, News18 reported.

    Known as "James Bond of India," Doval is a 1968-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer.

    In his nearly four-decade-long career as an intelligence officer, he had played pivotal roles in dosing off insurgency in the northeast, and Jammu and Kashmir.
