A video that emerged on social media on Saturday showed a shocking incident of a young man assaulting a woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Greater Noida.
In the video, the man was seen grabbing the woman's hair and slapping her forcefully in the parking lot of Omaxe Palm Green Society. Bystanders eventually stepped in, rescuing the young woman from the man’s grasp. After this, Surya casually walked away, appearing unconcerned about the confrontation or its consequences.

The man seen in the video was identified as Surya, who reportedly has a history of violent behaviour.
As per reports, Surya has assaulted others in the past, including students who have previously reported his actions to the police. However, due to his social status and influence, Surya has managed to evade significant consequences each time. This latest incident, captured on camera, has once again brought attention to his behaviour and raised concerns among residents.
