Swami Prasad Maurya slaps Gautam Buddha Nagar police top cop with legal notice

New Delhi: Accusing the Gautam Buddha Nagar Police Commissioner Alok Singh of levelling fake allegations against him, Samajwadi Party leader and Member of Legislative Council Uttar Pradesh (UP) Swami Prasad Maurya served Alok Singh with a legal defamation notice.

Maurya has claimed that the remarks the police commissioner made during his press conference on Shrikant Tyagi, the gangster arrested by the Uttar Pradesh police on 9 August, were false and deliberately made to malign his image.

During the press conference, the commissioner had said that Tyagi during the investigation had revealed that the secretariat pass, which is only given to MLAs, was given to him by Maurya.

Maurya has asked Singh for a written apology in electronic media and newspapers.

As compensation for damages, which Maurya claims were made as a result of the allegations, a sum of around 11.5 crores has also been demanded.

Shrikant Tyagi, a gangster, recently grabbed attention after a video of him assaulting and abusing a woman at Grand Omaxe in Noida's sector 93.

After he was arrested, following a four-day chase, police recovered a car from him with an Uttar Pradesh secretariat pass, which is only given to MLAs and helped him pass off as an MLA.

The police in the press conference after the arrest had said that Tyagi got those stickers from Maurya.
