Greater Noida: Pub owner fires six shots over parking row with security guards

Police said they have registered a case against Sisodia and action will be taken based on probe findings.

Six shots were fired at a residential society in Greater Noida during a fight between a resident and security guards over parking, according to a report by NDTV.

Gaurav Sisodia, who owns a pub in Greater Noida, is a resident of Radha Sky Gardens in Sector 16 B of Greater Noida. Sisodia was allegedly drunk and fired with his licensed gun. The guards managed to escape the bullets.

Police told NDTV that they have registered a case against Sisodia and action will be taken based on probe findings. In a video message, Ashutosh Srivastav, a resident of Radha Sky Gardens, said some residents and guards had been arguing over a parking dispute for days.

He said the two sides exchanged blows and verbal abuses thrice on Monday. "Late at night, a resident opened fire in the name of self-defence. He fired six times. Thankfully, no security guard was injured. Gaurav Sisodia, who lives here and owns Tathastu pub in Greater Noida West, had a drunken brawl with the guards and opened fire," he said.

The videos, which have surfaced online, show Sisodia arguing with a guard and daring him to slap him. "Why should I slap you? You are harassing poor guards," the guard said. "I am harassing poor people? You are misbehaving," Sisodia is heard saying in Hindi.

Sisodia is also seen threatening to hit the guards as some people, including women, try to hold him back. He abuses the guards and accuses them of molesting women.

Mohan Avasthy, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Noida), told NDTV that Sisodia had fired in the air during his altercation with the guards over a parking dispute. "We have registered a case following a complaint by the security officer of the residential complex. We are checking the CCTV footage for further action,” said Avasthy.
