Supporters Of Politician Who Abused A Woman, Shouted Slogan Against Her

District Magistrate Suhas LY, Police chief Alok met residents


Noida: After a politician abused and pushed a woman on camera at a residential complex in Noida, man's supporters turned up at the housing complex, shouted slogans and asked for the address of the woman. 

 

As the accused Shrikant Tyagi claimed he is a member of the BJP's Kisan Morcha and had posted photos of him with senior BJP leaders; however, the BJP has said he is not associated with them.

 

During this protest, Noida District Magistrate Suhas LY and Noida Police chief Alok Kumar Singh came to the residential complex and met with the residents. The District Magistrate said the Noida administration will attach Mr. Tyagi's property.

 

Earlier, residents at Grand Omaxe in Noida's Sector 93B, angry at the ruckus created by Mr. Tyagi's supporters, also came out in large numbers and protested against the police for not taking action.

 

According to the visual captured on phone, the police seem standing between the residents and the slogan-shouting supporters of Mr. Tyagi, who are seen trying to control the situation.

 

The residents pointed out the arrogance of the politician, who despite having been caught on camera abusing and pushing a woman, allegedly sent his supporters and threatened the woman and residents at night right in the middle of the housing complex.

 

A visibly upset Noida MP and BJP leader Mahesh Sharma told reporters that he has questioned the police about how the supporters of the politician, who is on the run, managed to enter the housing complex and threatened the residents, even going to such lengths as to ask about the flat of the woman.

 

"I am ashamed to say this is our government. Find out how did these 15 men enter the residential complex," Mr Sharma said on the phone in front of reporters.

 

Mr. Tyagi, who faces a police case, is at large 48 hours after the first incident was reported. The National Commission for Women has also told the police to arrest him.

 

The police have detained the politician's supporters.
