NOIDA: Politician Shrikant Tyagi, who was arrested for assaulting a woman in the Grand Omaxe Society of Noida in August this year, was released from jail on Thursday evening.
Tyagi was lodged at the Luksar jail in Greater Noida since August 9 and was granted bail by the Allahabad high court on Monday.

"He was released this (Thursday) evening after all legal formalities," news agency PTI quoted jail superintendent Arun Pratap as saying.
Clad in a white kurta-pajama paired with a black waist-coat, Tyagi (34) walked out of the jail around 6.30pm and was headed home at the Grand Omaxe society in Noida Sector 93B.
Tyagi had been arrested on charges of molestation, rioting, cheating, and under relevant sections of the Gangsters Act.
He had sparked nationwide outrage when he was seen in a widely-circulated video heckling and abusing the woman resident at his apartment complex.
