Greater Noida, Oct 13: An elderly person residing in the Victory Amara Society in Greater Noida was beaten with an iron rod following an argument over stopping the supply of water to the overflowing tank installed on the roof of his house.
Victim Pratap Singh’s son Prashant, who resides in flat number 1205 of the society, said they live on the top floor of the building. A water tank has been installed on their roof which does not have an auto cut and is operated manually.
