VILLAGERS ASSAULT REVENUE OFFICIALS IN GREATER NOIDA

NOIDA: A team of revenue officials was allegedly assaulted by a group of villagers who also hurled casteist slurs at one of them in Greater Noida, police said on Wednesday. The incident took place in Bisrakh Jalalpur village on Monday, according to the FIR filed by revenue inspector Vinod Kumar.

Kumar said the revenue department team had gone to the village for measurement of a land parcel in compliance with a court order. “A police team including two sub inspectors and a constable from the Ecotech 3 police station also reached the spot but due to some confusion over police jurisdiction, the team left midway, leaving the revenue officials on the spot,” Kumar stated.
