Bulldozer action against 'BJP worker' who assaulted woman at Noida society

Authorities have started removal of encroachment at the house of Shrikant Tyagi, the so-called BJP worker who allegedly abused and assaulted a woman at a housing society in Noida last week.

Bulldozers, accompanied by teams of Noida Police, rolled in outside Grand Omaxe in Noida's Sector 93, where Shrikant Tyagi had manhandled and hurled expletives at a woman resident after she reportedly confronted him about encroachment by him. The video of the incident went viral.

Residents of the Noida housing society were seen cheering and clapping as a bulldozer brought down the illegal construction by Tyagi. "We are happy with this action by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and CEO of Noida Authority. We were annoyed with his [Tyagi’s] illegal construction and attitude,” a resident said.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak said, “CM has taken cognisance of the whole case, we will not let the accused walk free. Strict action will be taken against those who break the law.”
