A Noida-based politician whose video of misbehaving with a woman and later UP administration bulldozing an illegal structure at his apartment in Omaxe complex is on the round on the social media platforms since a few days from now.
Another video of him has been released from police custody apologizing for his conduct with a lady after he was on a run when Police finally nabbed him from Meerut. In the latest confessional video released while giving an interview to a news channel, Shrikant Tyagi said, "like his sister" and that he "realizes his mistake".
He went on to say, "I regret the way I got carried away and used slang. I should not have done that. She is like my sister. Women have a place of respect in society. So definitely it is a mistake. I have realized and I am ready to apologize to her."
Tyagi further added, "I got carried away and later realized that I should never use such language for anyone.” When asked about his say on the razing up of a segment in his Noida-based property encroachment, he informed, He had planted palm trees outside his ground floor flat.
“While buying the property in the locality it was mentioned in the agreement papers that those buying flats on the ground floor will be charged 5% extra in return a green area will be provided near their accommodation. We planted palm trees in 2019 and now they are accusing us of encroachment.”
Tyagi was on the run since the video went viral and was finally nabbed by the UP police from one of his aid’s homes on the outskirts of Meerut yesterday. The UP administration has taken stringent action against the politician by bulldozing a portion of his grand Omaxe society property in Noida which is allegedly encroached and has even lodged him under the tough GOONDA act.
Tyagi claims to be a member of BJP Kisan Morcha with his social media filled up with several pictures of BJP top brass. However, BJP has sidelined itself from any sort of association with Tyagi.
Apart from the case, fellow society members have also accused Tyagi of threatening and intimidation on several occasions. However, no such case has come to the fore as of now.
