Uttar Pradesh government Monday used a bulldozer to raze illegal construction outside the ground floor apartment of absconding politician Shrikant Tyagi, who is accused of assaulting a woman resident in his housing society here. So far six police officials have been suspended for alleged laxity in connection with the case, even as six aides of Tyagi who had barged into the Grand Omaxe society in Sector 93B on Sunday evening were arrested and sent to jail. Tyagi, who is at large since Friday evening, moved a local court in the Gautam Buddh Nagar district with a plea for surrender-related procedures but the hearing in the matter has been listed for August 10, a government lawyer told PTI. Until he went underground Friday night, Tyagi claimed he was associated with the BJP, even as the ruling party denied any links with him. The Opposition has also mounted attack on the BJP over the issue.
Tyagi had encroached the common area of the society and constructed a wooden shed that had multiple pillars below it.
Earlier in the day, the district administration, acting tough on the accused, demolished a structure that was illegally constructed by the self-claimed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader.
Sources told IANS that Tyagi`s last location was traced in Uttarakhand between Haridwar and Rishikesh and multiple police teams went there but still he was not found.
According to sources, an intense operation to nab the absconding accused is currently underway and multiple teams of the Noida Police are currently working in coordination to zero in on his location.
Noida Police on Monday declared a reward of Rs 25,000 for the person who gives information on the location of absconding politician Shrikant Tyagi accused of assaulting a woman during an argument, three days ago over the plantation of palm trees near his apartment here.
Absconding politician Shrikant Tyagi may surrender anytime now at Surajpur court. He had given plea for surrender.

People were explained and told that strict action would be taken against Tyagi soon.

Illegal structures outside absconding politician Shrikant Tyagi's Noida flat demolished
Government officials on Monday morning demolished the "illegal" structures built by absconding politician Shrikant Tyagi outside his Noida residence. The demolition outside Tyagi's ground floor apartment in Grand Omaxe society in the city's Sector 93B was carried out around 9 am by the Noida Authority, an official told PTI. Tyagi has been booked by the police for assaulting and abusing a co-resident of Noida Sector 93B Grand Omaxe, who had objected to him planting trees in the common area of the society.
He was booked under Indian Penal Code section 354 (assault or use of criminal force on any woman, intending to outrage or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby outrage her modesty) on Friday over a spat with a co-resident of their housing society. The woman had objected to plantation of some trees by Tyagi, citing violation of rules, even as he claimed he was within his rights to do so.
The police, meanwhile, continued its search for Tyagi on Monday, a day after it questioned over half a dozen people linked to him, including his wife, at his home, according to officials.
"Tyagi would be booked under the Gangsters Act and strictest action taken against him so that an example is set for people like him," Singh said. Before he went underground, Tyagi claimed to be a BJP politician, even as the party stresses that he is not even its member as it blocked the attacks being mounted by opposition parties over the episode.
Late Sunday, District Magistrate Suhas L Yathiraj and Police Commissioner Alok Singh also visited the society and interacted with the residents.
The police had arrested six of Tyagi's aides, who had entered the society on Sunday, and were probing how they managed to gain entry despite private security deployment there, the officials said.
He sought immediate action against Tyagi and security for the woman and her family even as he assured residents of the society of justice.
"I am ashamed to say that all this is happening when our (BJP) government is in power," Sharma said over an apparent phone call to Uttar Pradesh government's additional chief secretary (home) Awanish Awasthi.
Gautam Buddh Nagar MP Mahesh Sharma visited Omaxe Grand on Sunday evening and interacted with the residents after around a dozen aides of Tyagi had entered the society without permission earlier in the day, raising tension.
Tyagi has identified himself as the national executive member of the BJP's Kisan Morcha and national co-cordinator of its Yuva Samiti. The ruling party, however, maintains that he is not even its primary member.
"Inspector Paramhans Tiwari has been appointed as the in-charge of Phase 2 police station in view of administrative requirements," a police spokesperson said Monday morning. The action came a day after high drama unfolded at the Omaxe Grand society in Sector 93B, where local BJP leaders lashed out at the police for not being able to arrest accused Shrikant Tyagi, who went absconding Friday night.
The in-charge of a local police station has been shunted as probe into the assault on a woman inside a housing society in Noida, allegedly by a politician, intensified, officials said on Monday. Sujeet Upadhyay, in-charge of Phase 2 police station, was removed from the post late Sunday night.
"We had been raising the issue of encroachment since last three years and finally it has happened. We thank the Uttar Pradesh government and the Noida Authority for it," an elderly resident of the society told reporters.
They lauded the government's "bulldozer" move but also sought the early arrest of Tyagi even as some of them were distributing sweets to each other on the occassion.
