India is in the midst of a seven-phase voting process. With all political parties leaving no stone unturned to rally as much support as possible, campaigners are going door-to-door to persuade voters to back their candidates.

New Delhi (Sputnik) — A man in the Indian state of Bihar paid dearly after he responded to a group of unknown visitors who knocked on his door, disguised as Prime Minister Narendra Modi campaigners doing poll canvassing. Little did he know he would be welcoming robbers, says a report in Hindi news portal news18.com. The incident took place earlier this week on 5 May in the Siwan district of the state.
