New Delhi: A video showing a woman verbally abusing security guards after they didn’t allow a delivery person to enter the Greater Noida society has gone viral on social media.
“Maar dungi tujhe jaan se, gareebon ki aulaad, teri koi aukaat nahi hai mere aage (I will kill you, you’re nothing next to me),” the woman can be heard shouting in the clip that surfaced Wednesday.
The woman is a resident of the Centurion Park Terrace Homes in Greater Noida West. In the video, she can be seen pacing back and forth, at times moving threateningly close to the security guards, and then back toward the society. She swears non-stop throughout the 3-minute-20-second video, using not just abusive language but also casteist insults at the guards standing near the society gate.
“Joota saaf karwaungi tujhse, saala Akhilesh Yadav ka kutta, Dobara 906 se panga liya toh tod dungi tujhe (I’ll make you clean my shoes, you Akhilesh Yadav’s dog. If you cross flat number 906 again, I’ll break you),” she says.
According to the police, the woman had ordered food online, and when the delivery boy arrived, the security guards did not allow him to enter the society. The woman then allegedly confronted the guards.
“The delivery person did not have permission to enter the society, and when the guard stopped him from entering, the woman came and started a fight,” said an official from the Bisrakh Police Station. He added that the woman was drunk at the time and was arrested Thursday morning for further investigation.
Soon after the video went viral, it circulated widely across social media platforms and WhatsApp groups, sparking discussions within the gated society about the behaviour of residents in such upscale communities.
“It is deeply saddening to see people behaving like this with those who work for them and help keep their society safe,” said Devendra Tiger, president of the Federation of Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) of Greater Noida.
The recent incident has also sparked a debate among residents and security guards about the safety and dignity of security personnel working in gated societies across the NCR.
“This is not the first time. In some cases, guards do not receive their salaries for months; in others, they are physically assaulted. Here, we can see how badly the woman is abusing the guard simply because he was doing his job,” said Mahesh Singh, a security guard in Sector 150, Noida.
“No action will be taken, and the guard may even lose his job. This is how we are treated silently,” said another security guard, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Inside gated societies
As the video continues, the woman can be seen attempting to kick a security guard who is sitting on a plastic chair.
“Bula police ko, bh***ke. Tere muh pe yahi chappal marungi. Do roti nahi hain tere jeb mein, maar dungi tujhe (Call the police. I’ll beat your face with my sandal. You don’t have two rotis),” she can be heard saying as she challenges the guards to call the police or anyone else they want.
The video has drawn criticism on social media, with users questioning the woman’s behaviour and calling for action over the use of casteist and abusive language against the guard.
“This is the culture of people who live in gated societies. They have developed a perception that they are high-class simply because they live in a 2BHK matchbox. We need stronger laws to deal with this kind of vile behaviour,” a user wrote on X.
Many others were of a similar opinion.
“99% of people living in Greater Noida high-rise buildings are utterly toxic people. They treat poor people, domestic workers, delivery workers and building guards like subhumans, to the point of even banning them from using the building lifts,” another user wrote.
