Greater Noida West: A video showing ten to twelve guys viciously beating up a man in Greater Noida went viral online, raising several concerns about Uttar Pradesh's law and order situation once more. According to sources, the incident happened on March 6 in a drugstore in Gaur City 2, Greater Noida West. The incident was captured on camera by the shop's installed CCTV system, and the video quickly gained popularity online. 

People immediately questioned the state's overall safety and security as the video started to go viral on social media. The elderly woman reportedly requested the pharmacist for the same medication while carrying an empty pharmaceutical packet to the pharmacy. The man provided the old person a fresh packet of the same medication as per his request. Nevertheless, after some time, the old woman's son came to the store and started accusing the pharmacist of giving the wrong medication.
