In a shocking case, a mob of over 500 men allegedly tried to force woman dancers of a troupe to strip during a cultural programme in Assam's Kamrup district. Soon after the incident became an outrage, police arrested two persons involved in the case.

The two men, identified as Shahrukh Khan and Subahan Khan, were arrested on Sunday.

According to India Today reports, as per FIR, the dancers of the group were heckled by the spectators who demanded that they strip and dance. The dancers managed to escape from the programme at Asolpara and their vehicles were also pelted with stones.
