On live TV: Journalists reporting on Parliament security breach jostle for smoke canister
As one reporter demonstrated the use of the canister, others tried to snatch it from him.
After a major security breach in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, when two men jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors’ gallery and opened gas-emitting canisters, scenes aired on live television showed journalists on the Parliament lawn jostling to get hold of a smoke stick wielded by two others outside.
कुछ तो मज़बूरियां रही होंगी...

One of the journalists seen in the footage put out this tweet.
End of the day - yes the video looks funny but as a reporter on the ground my Instinct not to let go - it was not the same canister as it was inside lok sabha - so no evidence here .. and also a cop came and kept it there
