Farrukhabad (Uttar Pradesh): Louis Khursheed, Congress leader and wife of union Law
Minister Salman Khursheed, had a narrow escape Sunday evening as a
group of people pelted stones at a polling booth here, from where
she is contesting the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls, for allegedly
promoting bogus voting.
The protesters charged her with "facilitating voting by her
supporters" inside a booth at a primary school in Bibiganj after
the 5 p.m. deadline.
As the gates were closed for voting and the people who had queued
up were taken in, a group of Bharatiya Janata Party and Bahujan
Samaj Party workers gathered near the booth and started shouting
slogans.
The protesters even pelted stones at the polling booth where Louis
Khursheed was standing. They accused her of trying to influence
voters and promoting bogus voting.
Farrukhabad Superintendent of Police Mohit Gupta said that an
incident had been reported from Bibiganj and he had asked
officials to investigate the matter.
"Such reports have come to me and I have asked Louis Khursheed to
send me a formal complaint so that the matter may be looked into,"
Gupta said.
