Noida,
Aug
24:
A
woman,
who
was
arrested
after
her
video
abusing
and
manhandling
security
guards
of
a
Noida
society
went
viral,
was
granted
bail
by
a
local
court
Wednesday,
her
lawyer
said.

Bhavya
Roy
(32)
was
arrested
on
Sunday
while
the
incident
had
taken
place
on
Saturday
around
5.30
pm
at
the
entry
gate
of
Jaypee
Wishtown
society
in
Noida
sector
128.

Roy
was
granted
bail
by
the
chief
judicial
magistrate
Richa
Upadhyay
of
the
Surajpur
court,
her
lawyer
Inderveer
Singh
Bhati
said.

“We
argued
that
my
client
was
arrested
without
any
notice
while
it
is
necessary
to
issue
a
notice
in
cases
where
offences
are
of
less
than
seven
years
prison
term.
The
court
was
convinced
and
bail
was
granted,”
Bhati
told
PTI.

He
said
he
also
cited
Roy’s
clear
criminal
history
or
any
such
case
which
was
also
considered
by
the
court.

Roy,
a
lawyer
by
education,
was
in
a
sedan
and
got
into
an
argument
with
security
guards
at
the
entry
gate
of
Jaypee
Wishtown
society
under
Sector
126
police
station
limits
allegedly
due
to
a
delay
in
the
opening
of
the
gate
by
one
of
them.

The
security
guard
who
lodged
a
complaint
with
the
police
claimed
that
Roy
not
only
hurled
expletives,
and
humiliated
him
and
his
colleagues
but
also
“made
derogatory
remarks
and
used
abusive
words”
for
a
particular
community.

The
video
of
the
incident
also
showed
Roy
hurling
expletives
and
grabbing
guard
Anup
Kumar
by
his
uniform.
She
also
made
indecent
physical
gestures
and
threatening
remarks
to
him
and
other
security
guards
on
duty.

As
the
video
went
viral
on
Sunday,
Roy
was
booked
under
Indian
Penal
Code
sections
153A
(acts
prejudicial
to
harmony),
323
(voluntarily
causing
hurt),
504
(intentional
insult
to
provoke
breach
of
public
peace),
506
(criminal
intimidation),
among
others,
and
arrested,
the
police
said.
