Noida residents have witnessed yet another shocking incident of violence on Friday. A 32-year-old passenger was assaulted by a group of auto-rickshaw drivers on a busy road in the Surajpur area. The exact reason for the argument has yet to be ascertained.
A video of the incident quickly surfaced on social media, prompting Uttar Pradesh police chief Vijay Kumar to take note and order a time-bound investigation into the matter. In response, three suspects involved in the assault were taken into custody. Director General of Police Kumar has ordered that those behind the violence be booked under the stringent UP Control of Goonda Act.
According to a senior police officer in Lucknow, "DGP Vijay Kumar has taken note of the incident that took place in Surajpur area of Greater Noida and has directed for strict action in the case. Three suspects have been taken into custody. The investigation should be completed in a week and a charge sheet filed to ensure punishment. The Goonda Act will also be invoked in the case."
Deputy Commissioner of Police Suniti revealed that the incident occurred on the night of October 3, involving some auto-rickshaw drivers. The complainant approached the police on Thursday and was sent for medical test as per procedures after receiving a complaint from him. An FIR was lodged accordingly.
Suniti said she has formed three police teams to identify the accused as seen in the video footage and ensure their arrests. Some other suspects have been taken into custody. The officer added that the FIR was lodged under Indian Penal Code sections 147, 307, 323, 336, 504, and 506.
This incident follows a series of other violent episodes that have occurred in Greater Noida over the past few weeks. On October 1, a 38-year-old man in Jewar was assaulted by a group of locals on a busy roundabout, even as some policemen allegedly stood nearby but did not intervene. A departmental inquiry has been launched into the allegations of laxity against the personnel.
In September, an FIR was lodged against 10 police officials at the Beta 2 police station for allegedly assaulting a 22-year-old Dalit law student inside the police station's premises in November 2022 and implicating him in a false case. A separate investigation into this matter is also underway.
The police are doing their best to investigate the various incidents and ensure that those who have committed these acts of violence are brought to justice. It is hoped that the suspect will be arrested soon and brought to justice. The authorities have expressed their commitment to ensure the safety and security of the residents of Greater Noida.
