A resident, who was intoxicated, fired six shots during a parking dispute in a residential society in Greater Noida. The fight took place at Radha Sky Gardens, Sector 16B, Greater Noida, late at night. There were no reported injuries in the incident.
Gaurav Sisodia was the owner of Tathastu, a local pub. In this fight, he had argued with the security guards regarding some parking issues. According to police sources, Sisodia was allegedly intoxicated when he fired shots using his licensed firearm in the heated exchange. The security guards who became the target of the shots could escape unhurt.
Radha Sky Gardens resident Ashutosh Srivastav claimed that parking concerns have been the source of tensions between the residents and the guards for days.
He said clashes and verbal disputes had occurred several times on Monday between the two sides before the situation went out of hand. “Late at night, a resident opened fire. He fired six times. Fortunately, no security guard was hurt,” said Srivastav in a video message.

There was footage that began circulating online that showed Sisodia arguing with one of the guards. He said, “Why should I slap you? You are harassing poor guards.” Sisodia retorted, saying, “I am harassing poor people? You are misbehaving.” At this point Sisodia warned the guards saying he would punch them as other onlookers, including some women, stepped forward to mediate.
