A woman was taken into preventive custody in Greater Noida West after a video emerged online showing her allegedly threatening and verbally abusing security guards at a local residential complex. The incident, reported by police on Thursday, has raised concerns about safety and conduct in residential areas.
Police said the incident took place at 3am on Wednesday over the guards stopping a delivery executive of a quick commerce mobile app at the entrance of the high-rise apartment complex. Police said the district police took cognisance of the widely-circulated video clip that emerged on social media on Wednesday evening and had not received any complaint about the incident. Police said the woman was taken into custody by the Bisrakh police station under Section 170 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) that empowers a police officer to arrest anyone to prevent the commission of a cognisable offence.
A police officer said the incident took place when the woman, who lives alone in the complex, ordered some food and sanitary pads. “When the delivery executive was stopped by the guards at the gate, the woman reached the spot to collect her order, and a dispute took place when she questioned the guards,” the officer added. He said it was not immediately clear why the delivery executive was denied entry, as local police advise society security personnel to record the details of delivery agents before letting them inside.
