This isn’t the first time wild animals have found their way into urban areas around Noida. Recently, a python was spotted in a nearby village in Greater Noida, constricting a nilgai (a type of antelope). The forest department was able to rescue and safely relocate the python back into the wild.
In a separate incident, two men were arrested in Sector 126, Noida, for assaulting security personnel at a hospital. The accused, identified as Akshay Sehgal and Vaibhav Sehgal, were caught on CCTV footage attacking a male security guard after being denied entry to a patient’s floor due to not having the required hospital card.
The altercation occurred when the men, who were using a lift, were stopped by the security guard from entering the floor without the proper documentation. Enraged, the duo stepped out of the lift and began beating the guard. When a female security guard attempted to intervene, she was forcefully pushed to the ground. The situation de-escalated only after bystanders stepped in to stop the fight.
The Noida police promptly arrested the two men following the incident. They are currently facing charges of assault and public misconduct. The hospital authorities have since assured patients and visitors that security measures will be strengthened to prevent such incidents in the future.
These incidents highlight the challenges of both urban wildlife encroachment and maintaining public safety in Noida.
