A day after a video of local politician Shrikant Tyagi purportedly assaulting a woman and using abusive language against her in a Noida Society went viral, the Gautam Buddha Nagar administration launched a hunt for Mr. Tyagi and bulldozers brought down the illegal structure erected by him in the common area of Omaxe Grand, situated in Sector 93 B of Noida.
In the video, the woman could be seen questioning him for encroaching on the common area of the Society.
After two FIRs, the Uttar Pradesh Police have announced a reward of ₹25,000 on the arrest of Mr. Tyagi. Six policemen, including the Station House Officer of the local police station, have been suspended for laxity. The woman who stood up to Mr. Tyagi has been provided security, Prashant Kumar, Additional Director-General of Uttar Pradesh Police (law and order), said.
