After viral video shows man hit by Thar, sent flying into drain in Noida, SUV driver among two arrested
An SUV driver who rammed into a man, sending him flying into a drain in Noida's Sector 53, and another person were arrested late on Wednesday after the video of the incident, allegedly triggered by an online spat, went viral. Earlier in the day, the delay over the arrest had also led to the suspension of two police officers. As per the police statement, the SHO of Noida's Sector 24 police station, where an FIR was filed, 'hid the incident from the higher authorities and did not make any meaningful efforts to arrest the accused.' Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Sumit Shukla said that the two men arrested have been identified as Aman Awana (29), and Aakash Awana (25). Both are residents of Noida's Sector 23. Shukla said that a complaint was filed by Saurabh Yadav, the man who was flung into the air by the SUV, against four people, including Aman and Aakash, at Noida's Sector 24 police station over Monday's incident. Two other accused named in the complaint are yet to be arrested. 'A video of the incident had also gone viral in which Aman, who was driving a Thar, had hit Saurabh from behind. We have arrested two persons today. The Thar was seized earlier,' said Shukla. Earlier in the day, the Noida Police said that Gautam Buddh Nagar Police Commissioner Laxmi Singh suspended Shyambabu Shukla, the station house officer (SHO) of the police station in Noida's Sector 24, and Jagmohan Singh, the outpost in-charge of Gijhore, over negligence in the case. A departmental inquiry has also been ordered. 'On June 2, an incident of a quarrel and brawl between two parties under the jurisdiction of Sector-24 police station went viral on social media. Despite knowing about the incident, the Sector-24 police station in-charge, Inspector Shyambabu Shuklak, hid the incident from the higher authorities and did not make any meaningful efforts to arrest the accused,' read the official statement. The viral video showed an injured Saurabh walking down a road. He was hit by a black Mahindra Thar from behind, which sent him flying into a roadside drain. The incident on Monday followed a scuffle between two groups over an alleged online spat, said police. Saurabh Yadav had earlier said that he had gone to meet a friend in Noida along with his younger brother when the incident happened. 'My friend had called me saying that a group of men had been misbehaving with him. When we reached there, I realised that these were the same men who had earlier filed a case against us, which was quashed over lack of evidence,' the 24-year-old had said. The Noida Police registered an FIR on Tuesday under sections related to rash driving, criminal intimidation, and causing harm, and formed five teams to arrest the accused. In Wednesday's statement, police said, 'This act is a reflection of arbitrariness, negligence, and indiscipline towards one's duties and responsibilities. Taking cognizance of the incident, the Police Commissioner of Gautam Buddh Nagar has suspended the SHO and the outpost (Chowki) in-charge with immediate effect. The officials concerned have been directed to conduct a departmental inquiry.' The Noida Traffic Police has also issued a challan of Rs 68,500 against the SUV driver, officials said.

Insta post spirals into road rage, murder bid on 2 brothers
Noida: A social media squabble turned deadly on Monday when a group of men attacked two brothers in Sector 53, pinning them to the ground, raining blows and punches on them and even trying to run one of them with an SUV. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The assault left one of the brothers with a broken shoulder and other grievous injuries. According to police, Saurabh Yadav and his younger brother Sumit were on their way to Logix Mall in Sector 34 in their Fortuner when they encountered a convoy of four to five vehicles carrying the assailants. Saurabh, who lodged a complaint at Sector 24 police station, alleged that the assailants blocked his Fortuner and pulled him out of the vehicle. "The accused I mentioned in my complaint own a tour-and-travel business on the front, but actually operate a number of illegal activities. They even call themselves the local mafia," Saurabh said in a video, identifying his attackers as Akash Awana, Aman Awana, Gaurav Chauhan, and Kunal Chauhan. A resident of Sector 48, Saurabh was a student of a private university in Sector 125. He recently left college and started a factory, police said. The enmity between Saurabh and his attackers can be traced back to a 2017 financial dispute and a recent Instagram comment that soured the already testy ties, cops said. Saurabh, however, did not elaborate on the social media post. "They misbehaved with a friend and his girlfriend earlier. No sooner did they see us on Monday, they attacked us," he said in the clip. According to Saurabh, the attackers already had bricks and blades in their vehicles. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Videos circulated on various social media platforms painted a disturbing picture. One of the clips shows a blood-soaked Saurabh desperately trying to dodge bricks hurled at him while passersby watch from a shaded area. Another video captures multiple assailants pummelling one of the brothers to the ground, punching and kicking him all the while. The violence reached its peak when the assailants allegedly attempted to run Saurabh over with a Thar, sending him tumbling into a roadside drain. "We have such grave injuries, but no proper investigation has been done so far," Saurabh claimed in his video statement. Additional deputy commissioner of police Sumit Shukla confirmed that a case had been registered against the attackers at Sector 24 police station. "A special team has been formed to identify and arrest the accused based on the videos being circulated," he added.
