Shrikant Tyagi

A court on Thursday rejected the bail plea of Shrikant Tyagi, accused of threatening a woman in a Noida housing society.

Tyagi was recently seen in a viral video, threatening and misbehaving with a woman inside Noida's Grand Omaxe Society, Sector 93, and was on the run ever since.

Tyagi was arrested by the Uttar Pradesh police on Tuesday from near Noida.

Tyagi, who had claimed to be a member of Bharatiya Janata Party's Kishan Morcha, has been accused of allegedly abusing and pushing a woman who is a resident of Grand Omaxe society in Noida's Sector 93B, during an argument.

The Noida police had said that IPC Sections 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation), 447 (punishment for criminal trespass) have been added to the FIR registered on Friday.

The court has also fixed August 16 as the date on which it would hear another matter registered under Section 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) on August 16.

The court will also hear the matter related to six other people linked to Tyagi's case on the same day.

Earlier, speaking to media persons while being taken from the court, Tyagi said the woman whom he assaulted was like his sister and claimed that the incident was political, adding that it was done to politically decimate him.

"I express my regret on the incident. She is like my sister, the incident is political and was done to politically decimate me," said Tyagi while being taken from the court. -- ANI
