The returning office of NA-251 wrote an additional note that the result from polling station No 104 was not received as the SHO of the Ferozabad police station informed the RO that a case was registered against the presiding officer and other staff on a charge of rigging. Results from three other polling stations were yet to be received. The registered number of voters in these polling stations was 6,501 and since the wining margin between the contestants was beyond the votes registered on the polling stations in question, the result was being announced in order to avoid a delay.
