Shrikant Tyagi is a wanted man. Shrikant Tyagi is a protected man.
The BJP leader shot to infamy after he was caught on video pushing and abusing a fellow resident of the Grand Omaxe society in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on August 5. The party sought to disown him, but it did not fly. Shrikant absconded but was arrested from Meerut four days later on a charge of “assaulting a woman with intent to outrage her modesty” and under the Goonda Act. While Shrikant was on the run, the Noida Authority dispatched bulldozers to demolish illegally constructed extensions to his apartment.
