The Noida Police is desperately looking for Shrikant Tyagi, who was seen assaulting a woman at a housing complex and also identified himself as the national executive member of the BJP’s Kisan Morcha and national co-coordinator of its Yuva Samiti.
In a viral video, Mr. Srikant can be seen saying abusive words to the woman, physically assaulting her, and making comments that outrage her modesty. He also used abusive words for the woman’s husband.
Meanwhile, the saffron party has denied any affiliation with Tyagi, even as JCB bulldozers were sent to Grand Omaxe in Noida’s Sector 93 to demolish Tyagi’s illegal constructions. The Noida Police on Saturday said they have detained four close associates and impounded two vehicles of the absconding politician and also lodged another FIR against him.
Twitteratis reacted to the incident and called for the immediate arrest of Srikant Tyagi. Some called Srikant and his bodyguards ‘goons’, while others asked how can such things be tolerated in the society. Still others asked about the inaction of the BJP-led government.
How can this even be tolerated? @noidapolice @BJP4UP @myogioffice
