Four days after he allegedly assaulted and abused a fellow female resident of a posh Noida society, local politician Shrikant Tyagi was nabbed by Uttar Pradesh Police on Tuesday from Meerut. He along with his driver and two other close associates have been sent to 14-day judicial custody by a local court.
Addressing a press conference, Alok Singh, Commissioner of Noida Police said Tyagi will be proceeded against under the Gangsters Act. Mr Singh said the self-styled politician wanted to take a flight out of Delhi but because of the police alert decided to sneak into Uttarakhand. "We kept him under surveillance, as he moved from Haridwar and Saharanpur to Baghpat and Meerut." Mr. Singh said the fact that Tyagi was in regular touch with his wife and lawyers helped.
