FARRUKHABAD, Feb 19 (IANS): 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Farrukhabad Superintendent of Police Mohit Gupta said that an incident had been reported from Bibiganj and he had asked officials to investigate the matter.<\/p>\n
`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.<\/p>\n\n
