A Noida woman, who is seen abusing and assaulting security guards in a purported video that has now gone viral, has been arrested by the Noida Police.
In the video, the woman can be seen hurling expletives at security guards and grabbing one of them by his uniform. She is also seen making indecent gestures and threatening remarks.
Swati Maliwal, the chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women, shared the video on Twitter on Sunday afternoon tagging the Noida Police.
"A video went viral on social media in which a woman was behaving indecently with the security guard in Jaypee Wishtown Society. Taking cognizance of the video, the local Sector-126 police station has lodged an FIR against the woman," the police said in a statement.
The woman was first detained by the police, following which she was booked under Sections 153A (promoting enmity), 323 (causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult), 505(2) (offence), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
Shrikant Tyagi's Viral Video
The incident comes weeks after purported BJP leader Shrikant Tyagi was caught on video abusing a woman at a housing society. Incidentally, that altercation also took place in Noida.
Tyagi was later arrested by the Noida Police for allegedly abusing and assaulting the woman near Grand Omaxe in Noida Sector 93B.
On Sunday, 21 August, thousands of people gathered at Ramlila Maidan in Noida's Sector 110 in support of Tyagi, claiming that the ruling party abandoned one of its leaders and also disrespected the Tyagi community.
