Noida: Even as a massive manhunt was launched by Noida police for Shrikant Tyagi, a self-styled BJP leader whose video of abusing and misbehaving with a woman in Noida went viral last week, Gautam Buddha Nagar Commissionerate has announced a cash reward of Rs 25,000 to those who provide information about the whereabouts of Tyagi. 

Sources said searches were underway at multiple locations to arrest him and around 50 premises have been raided so far to find him. As per media reports Tyagi was last  seen in Rishikesh. Meanwhile, Uttarakhand DGP Ashok Kumar said if Noida Police seek any cooperation in arresting Tyagi, our state police will cooperate with them. 

In the meantime, acting on the Noida administration’s orders, the bulldozers rolled into the Noida’s Grand Omaxe housing society and demolished illegal structures at Tyagi’s residence at the housing complex. Earlier, Noida Police had taken four associates of Tyagi into custody and also seized two vehicles belonging to the absconding politician.
