The National Commission for Women (NCW) has sought the arrest of a politician accused of abusing and assaulting a woman in Noida.
While accused Shrikant Tyagi claimed to be a member of the BJP’s Kisan Morcha and his pictures with senior leaders surfaced on social media, the party’s local unit distanced itself from him.
The spat took place at the Grand Omaxe Society in Sector-93 B in New Delhi recently when Mr. Tyagi wanted to plant some saplings but the woman objected to it citing violation of rules. He, however, claimed he was within his rights to do so.
