Samajwadi Party MLC Swami Prasad Maurya. (File image)LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party MLC and former minister Swami Prasad Maurya has sent a legal notice to the Noida police commissioner for identifying him as the person who had got a forged MLA pass issued to Shrikant Tyagi. Maurya took to Twitter to announce that he has sent notice to the Noida CP for taking his name without any preliminary probe to dent his public image and has sought damages to the tune of Rs 11.5 crore. According to the notice, the Noida CP named him without any basis and evidence in a press conference that was held on August 9, in which police stated that the secretariat pass to Tyagi was provided by Swami Prasad Maurya. To recall, Shrikant Tyagi rose to infamy when a video clip surfaced showing him abusing and pushing a woman during an argument over palm trees he had planted in the common area of a housing society in Noida. Tyagi was then booked under the charges of molestation and criminal intimidation. On August 9, Tyagi was arrested from Meerut. Noida CP Alok Singh had then held a conference and had claimed that an MLA sticker on one of his cars had been given to him by his “old political colleague” Swami Prasad Maurya – a minister in Yogi Adityanath’s first term who jumped ship before this year’s assembly and joined the Samajwadi Party.
