NEW DELHI: Bulldozers swung into action against the self-proclaimed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shrikant Tyagi, who has been accused of outraging a woman's modesty during an argument over the plantation of palm trees near his apartment at Noida Grand Omaxe society.

Meanwhile, a manhunt is underway to nab Tyagi, who is on run. While the BJP has distanced itself from Tyagi, the latter's social media accounts tell a different tale.

On his official Twitter handle, Tyagi presents himself as a devoted party leader having pictures with a range of senior saffron party functionaries.

A spat broke out between Tyagi and a woman at the Grand Omaxe Society in Sector-93 B in Noida a few days ago.

The matter came to light on Friday multiple videos of the ugly spate surfaced on social media, purportedly showing Tyagi hurling expletives and assaulting the woman.

He also hurled abusive words at her husband and made derogatory remarks about her. Social media users also shared the response of the victim woman in which she narrated the entire incident.
