The incident took place at a booth in Chan Pora on the outskirts of Srinagar. On the other side Ms Hina Bhat Candidate from Vidhan Sabha Amirakadal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has denied this.

At Nati Pora a polling officer ordered that the voting be stopped after an argument with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers, she said.
