NOIDA: Hours after slapping the Gangster Act on abuser Shrikant Tyagi, the illegal construction at his house was bulldozed by the Noida Police and civic authorities. There was an illegal construction on the ground floor of his flat located in D Tower of Grand Omaxe Society.
At least two bulldozers and a dozen employees of Noida civic authorities were called at about 9 am. They entered the society around 10 am and started the operation.
Additional DCP Ankita Sharma, along with her team, was also present at the site.
The front and back portions of Tyagi’s flat on the ground floor were razed within a few minutes. The residents of the society egged on the administration.
Some raised slogans “Yogi sarkar zindabad” and “UP Police zindabad”. Some said that the action should have been taken earlier.
A resident, Kavita Singh, told The New Indian, “The complaint against the illegal encroachment was lodged two years back. No action was taken, though he was restrained from building concrete structures. But he kept encroaching by gardening and setting up wooden structures.”
She said, “We are thankful to the administration. And this, of course, will send a strong message to everyone.”
On Sunday late evening, over a dozen supporters of Tyagi barged into the society and argued with the residents for exposing him. After the Gangster Act was slapped on him, his vehicles were seized by the Noida Police.
