Tyagi was seen in a widely circulated video where he was allegedly heckling a woman resident at Grand Omaxe in Noida.
The Allahabad High Court today granted bail to Srikant Tyagi in the case registered against him under the provisions of the UP Gangsters Act and the Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986.
Srikant Tyagi was arrested on August 9 of this year for assaulting and abusing a woman on the premises of Grand Omaxe in Noida Sector 93B on August 5.
The court passed the order in the bail plea of Tyagi in a criminal case registered as case crime no. 340 of 2022 under Section 2/3 of the Gangster Act and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986 at police station Phase II, Gautam Budh Nagar.
The bench of Justice Surendra Singh-I allowed bail to Tyagi on executing his personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Court concerned.
Court also imposed conditions that Tyagi shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence and shall not threaten or harass the prosecution witnesses.
Initially, a case on the basis of the widely-circulated video showing that Tyagi was heckling and abusing a woman resident at his apartment complex, was registered under sections 354 (outraging modesty of woman and assault), 447 (criminal trespass), 323 (causing hurt), 504 (insult to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
However, a case under the Gangster Act also got registered against him after a group of his supporters stormed the housing society and sought the address of the woman complainant.
Tyagi moved the bail plea before the high court alleging that the instant case under the U.P. Gangsters Act and the Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, was totally illegal and no case whatsoever was made out against him. He alleged that the present case had been lodged against him due to police rivalry.
