Kanhaiya Kumar attacked while campaigning in Delhi
Kanhaiya Kumar, the Congress North East Delhi candidate, was slapped by a youth while campaigning on Friday (May 17). The video of the incident went viral.
Curiously, in a video that showed the attack on Kanhaiya, a person is heard saying that "Kanhaiya pitne waala hai" (Kanhaiya is going to be thrashed). Just after he says this, a youth in black T-shirt, with a garland in hands and on the pretext of placing it around Kanhaiya's neck, slaps Kanhaiya on the face.
Soon, the crowd present surrounds the man and he is thrashed by the people. There was also blood seen on the shirts of some people in the video. The extent of Kanhaiya's injury is not known as of now.
The attack on Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar was pre-planned. The guy recording the video can be heard saying "Kanhaiya will be beaten up."

The faces of these goons are clearly visible in the video, will @DelhiPolice take any action or do these goons have political protection? pic.twitter.com/De9PoPjyfh
