Kanpur: A few villagers dancing to celebrate the BJP victory in just-concluded assembly elections were mercilessly assaulted by a group of people in Kanpur Dehat district.
Their folly as reported was that they were swaggering to the tunes of election campaign songs of the BJP.

A complaint has been filed at the Rasulabad police station of the district.
Satya Prakash, a villager, stated in his complaint that he was playing DJ at his house to celebrate the victory of the BJP in the state Assembly elections.
