Guards beat up two residents in Noida society

Two residents of Purvanchal Royal Park, a high-rise in Sector 137, Noida, were beaten up by security guards of the society during a scuffle.

According to police, the incident took place close to midnight on Sunday, and the whole episode has been captured by the CCTV cameras installed on the premises. The footage shows half-a-dozen security guards roughing up two residents of the society.

According to Vyom Chibber, one of the victims, a guard named Pramod provoked the rest of the guards to beat him up. Surprisingly, the victims alleged that the residents' welfare association was also speaking in favour of the security guards.

The Chibbers have been living in the society in Flat 1303 of Tower 4 for the last one-and-a-half years. According to Vivek Chibber, Vyom's father, the absence of a parking sticker on their car started the whole thing, but soon the situation got out of control.

Vyom's grandparents had come to the society some 15 days back and their vehicle, a Toyota Innova, did not have a parking sticker issued for society residents. Chibber, however, maintained that his son would regularly bring the vehicle into the society and park it inside

"My son and I were in the car and we were driving it into the society. All of a sudden they stopped the vehicle at the gates on Sunday, and started a scuffle and beat us both up. We have lodged a complaint with the police," recounted the father.

The police is yet to initiate any action against the perpetrators. "We have registered a complaint and are sorting the CCTV footages of the event. Action will be taken after all investigations have been done," said Manish Saxena, SHO, Surajpur.
