Lucknow: An MP/MLA court in Uttar Pradesh has handed Raj Babbar a two-year jail sentence.
It’s an old case pertaining to the assault of a polling officer 26 years ago.
An FIR was lodged against the Bollywood actor-turned-politician at Lucknow’s Wazirganj police station on May 2, 1996 by the polling officer.
The Congress leader has been convicted of obstruction of government work and assault, and fined Rs 8,500.
Babbar, who was in the Samajwadi Party at that time and was contesting elections from Lucknow, got into a verbal spat with a polling officer, leading to assault.

Apart from Representation of the People act, a chargesheet was filed under the Criminal Law Amendment Act.
