Mainpuri:
One hundred and twenty five supporters of the Samajwadi Party have been booked for allegedly attempting to capture two booths during repolling in the Mainpuri Parliamentary constituency on Tuesday.
The repolling at the two booths had been ordered after complaints of irregularities in polling on May 7.
Reports suggest that during repolling on Monday, some local residents had a scuffle with the police. Samjawadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav is contesting from Mainpuri.
Earlier, the Chief Development Officer of Mainpuri B B Singh had said that repolling was ordered late evening at booth number 227 and 228 at Parsana polling station in the Jaswantnagar assembly segment of the Mainpuri Lok Sabha constituency.
Singh said that the decision was taken after complaints from the Samajwadi Party that Bahujan Samaj Party workers captured the booths during the voting, which took place here on May 7.
