“A case has been registered based on complaints from both sides. Two residents and two guards have been arrested and sent to jail,” said Manoj Singh, SHO, Bisrakh police station.

DCP Central Noida, Shakti Mohan Awasthi, has since confirmed that the situation within the complex is now calm.

Meanwhile, residents have raised concerns regarding poor management and a severe shortfall of security personnel at the complex, which reportedly has 56 towers yet employs only 80 guards. They also noted that the overall maintenance of the estate remains under the control of NBCC, with the official handover to the residents' association still pending.
