Bulldozer Rolled Into Accused Politician Shrikant Tyagi's House

Visuals of assaulting the woman went viral


Ahead of abusing a woman in Noida, today, Bulldozers rolled into Noida housing society and brought down encroached pieces of land by a politician accused of abusing and assaulting a woman. Shrikant Tyagi, who is an alleged member of BJP's Kisan Morcha, is on the run.

After the protest, the district authorities and police personnel reached the Grand Omaxe Society in Sector-93 B in Noida and demolished the illegal structure at the property of Shrikant Tyagi.

Police have also detained Mr. Tyagi's supporters who created a ruckus at the housing society following an incident involving Mr. Tyagi and a woman. The Noida police have invoked the Gangster Act against Tyagi.

A clash broke out between alleged BJP Kisan Morcha member Mr Tyagi and a woman at the Grand Omaxe Society a few days ago.

Mr. Tyagi wanted to plant some saplings but the woman objected to it citing a violation of rules. Mr Tyagi, however, claimed he was within his rights to do so.

Ahead of that, visuals of assaulting and abusing the woman went viral on social media. Days after the incident, Mr Tyagi's supporters turned up at the housing complex, shouted slogans and asked for the address of the woman.

Although Mr. Tyagi had claimed he is a member of the BJP's Kisan Morcha and had posted photos of him with senior party leaders, the BJP however has distanced itself from him.

BJP Delhi spokesperson Khemchand Sharma thanked the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh for the "strict action" against the "abusive Shrikant Tyagi".

"Thanks to CM #YogiAdityanath's government for acting strictly against 'abusive' Shrikant Tyagi. His Illegal structures are being razed now by the Noida administration. #ShrikantTyagi @myogiadityanath," Mr Sharma tweeted.
