Shrikant Tyagi's bail plea rejected, abusive leader is in Greater Noida's jail

New Delhi: Following Shrikant Tyagi’s arrest, his wife Anu Tyagi while acknowledging that her husband did wrong said that apologies should have been given to him on immediate basis and that everything that followed after the incident was being exaggerated, reported news agency ANI. 

"What happened was wrong, he should've apologised. The topic was that he insulted a woman. It should have been handled like that. But everything is now being dragged. Our car, trees, house, everything has suddenly become illegal," Anu Tyagi, told the news agency.

A video of Tyagi had emerged online where he could be seen threatening and assaulting a woman in the Noida’s Sector 93 Grand Omaxe housing society over plantation of trees. The woman was trying to stop Tyagi from planting trees citing violation of rules. 

Anu stressed that they were just planting trees there.
