Shrikant Tyagi is an Indian politician who has claimed to be part of the Bharatiya Janta Party, according to his Twitter profile.

According to his Twitter account, Tyagi is a National Executive Member of the BJP as well as the National Co-Coordinator, Yuva Kisaan Samiti of the saffron party.

While not much is known about him, Tyagi recently made news for berating and assaulting a woman in the housing society in which he lives. In the video, he can be seen aggressively posturing and calling the woman names before pushing her violently. The incident took place at Grand Omaxe in Noida’s Sector 93-B on August 5, 2022.

Tyagi and the women had got into the confrontation after she refused to let him plant seeds for trees near the walkways of the building saying that it was a violation of the rules. However, Tygai claimed that he was within his rights to do so. Interestingly, the BJP’s Noida unit chief Manoj Gupta posted on Twitter that Tyagi was not a member of the party.

Following the incident which was caught on tape, Uttar Pradesh police went to Tyagi’s home. Instead, he threatened to release his dogs on the police and escaped. Tyagi is now on the run as police have launched a manhunt for the alleged politician.

Late on Sunday night, supporters of Tyagi posing as guests entered the Grand Omaxe complex and began looking for the woman. The police were called and the seven men were detained and interrogated. 

This is not the first time that Tyagi has run afoul of the law. In 2019, residents of Grand Omaxe got into an argument with one of the politician’s security guards for protesting the alleged construction of an outer area of his apartment which they said was spoiling the symmetry of their society, according to a Times of India report.
