New Delhi, Aug 10: Shrikant Tyagi, a self-described BJP supporter who was detained by Noida police on Tuesday after allegedly harassing and assaulting a woman at his housing complex, has now said that the victim is like a sister to him and that a plot had been made to ‘politically demolish’ him.
While being taken away from the court, Tyagi addressed to the reporters and claimed that the woman who had accused him of assault is like a sister to him and that the entire thing was political and that someone is attempting to destroy him politically.
“I express my regret on the incident. She is like my sister, the incident is political and was done to politically decimate me,” he said while being taken from the court.
In the Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh, Shrikant Tyagi who describes himself on social media as a national executive member of the BJP’s Kisan Morcha was detained on Monday along with three other people and was given a 14-day judicial detention order on Tuesday.

The day before his arrest, bulldozers demolished the unauthorised building in front of his home at the Grand Omaxe housing society in Noida’s Sector-93B.
Shrikant Tyagi was previously accused by the Noida police of wearing a VVIP sticker on his car that SP leader Swami Prasad Maurya had handed to him.
Six of his supporters were detained by the police on Monday after they entered the Grand Omaxe society late on Sunday night without permission and inquired about the address of the woman that Tyagi had assaulted.
