Former Jaunpur MP Dhananjay Singh and his associates have been booked in Lucknow on charges including rioting and criminal intimidation. Residents of Swastika City colony allege that Singh's aide and others were illegally constructing a wall on a road, and when objected to, they were beaten and threatened. A video of the incident circulated online. The local police station's SHO was removed for allegedly refusing to register the residents' complaint and instead filing an FIR against them.
