Police: SP candidate’s husband booked for attacking BJP rival

Commission’s flying squad team stopped their vehicle near Kherni police outpost at 9 pm on Sunday.

The assailants also attacked the policemen when they tried to intervene, injuring three of them, the complainant said.

“They [EC squad] were checking vehicles when SP workers led by Pramod Yadav came in their cars. They attacked and opened fire on us. They also damaged my vehicle. In an attempt to save our lives, we ran inside the police outpost,” the complainant added.

Police said the EC team had stopped the BJP candidate for checking after they were informed that they were going to distribute liquor to voters.
