Chandigarh: The Haryana Police have booked Manish Grover, state minister and former Congress MLA B B Batra for allegedly entering a polling booth without permission and disorderly conduct in Rohtak district of the state. "The Minister of State for Cooperation, Manish Grover and Batra, the ex-MLA from Rohtak, were booked on Wednesday under Section 188 of the IPC (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and Section 131 of the Representation of the People's Act (disorderly conduct in or near polling stations) in Shivaji Colony police station, Rohtak, on the complaint of an Assistant Returning Officer, SP, Rohtak," J S Randhawa said.

As per the complaint, Manish Grover and Batra had allegedly entered a polling booth inside a school without permission and created a ruckus when polling was underway in the Rohtak parliamentary constituency, which went to polls on May 12 along with nine other Lok Sabha seats in the state.
From Rohtak, Congress' sitting MP Deepender Singh Hooda is seeking re-election for a fourth term. A day after the polling, Congress general secretary in-charge, Haryana, Ghulam Nabi Azad had written to the Chief Election Commissioner seeking appropriate action against Grover for allegedly intimidating voters and "illegally sabotaging" of polling in Rohtak, a charge which the BJP leader had vehemently denied.
