Noida: Pair Nabbed After Man Dies in 3rd-Floor Assault Fall
1 min read
A violent confrontation at a Noida apartment ended in tragedy and arrests, as police revealed on May 6. Puneet Chauhan lost his life after tumbling from a three-storey building’s roof on May 4, while his companion Vidya Das suffered life-threatening injuries during the melee at Hitesh Rana’s Sector-22 home.
The duo had gone there to settle a private matter involving apologies. But simmering resentment—Hitesh’s fury over interactions between Puneet and his wife Chanchal—ignited a brutal fight. The couple allegedly wielded a household hockey stick, pummeling the victims until they plummeted to the ground below.
Vidya was immediately transferred to a Delhi medical facility. Sector-24 cops arrived post-haste, methodically gathering evidence through intelligence networks. This led to the swift capture of Hitesh Rana, 33, and Chanchal, 27, who helped retrieve the bloodied hockey stick.
An FIR for murder and other counts is underway, with investigators promising exhaustive inquiries. This gripping case exposes the perils of escalating personal grudges in confined spaces.
Neighbours express shock, demanding stricter oversight in rental properties to prevent such escalations. The law’s long arm has struck, but justice’s full course remains ahead.
