Noida police scored another major win against the perpetrators of recent violent clashes during a labour demonstration, detaining Himanshu Thakur from Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, and Satyam Verma from Lucknow. The Phase-2 station’s swift action targets individuals accused of fuelling the mayhem through destructive acts.
Deep probe uncovers their association with presumed ringleader Aditya Anand, who was nabbed late Saturday. Under Commissioner Lakshmi Singh’s oversight, tech-driven surveillance pinpointed and captured the suspects after extensive raids.
Thakur, originally from Uttarakhand’s Udham Singh Nagar, and Lucknow resident Verma, both active in ‘Vigul Mazdoor Dasta’, were central to the protest’s violent turn. Earlier arrests include Rupesh Roy and Manisha Chauhan, now in jail.
As the net tightens, investigators map out the full conspiracy web, promising rigorous prosecution. This case highlights simmering tensions in Noida’s industrial belts, where worker grievances erupted into public disorder.
Community leaders urge balanced resolutions, while police assure no leniency for agitators. Further revelations expected as interrogations yield more leads on accomplices.
