2 try to break into house, damage car, booked

Greater Noida: Two persons have been booked after they allegedly tried to break into the house of a local BJP functionary in Badalpur on Monday.
The complainant, Mahendra Singh Nagar, is a district-level representative of the party. He said the incident occurred around 4am on Monday when he was not present at home. The accused men allegedly scaled the boundary wall around his house, tried to break in and knocked on the door. They also smashed the windowpanes of Nagar’s Maruti Esteem car with bricks before fleeing.
“They didn’t appear to be thieves. It seems that some people are trying to hurt me and my family members, who are terrified due to the incident. I have also received death threats,” he added.
An FIR has been filed against the two unidentified persons under Section 427 (mischief causing damage) of the IPC at Badalpur police station. “Prima facie, it seems to be an attempt to scare the victim’s family. Arrests will be made soon,” a police officer said.
