Panaji, May 30: The election drama in Goa continues and a murky side of it came to light as currency notes of Rs.500 were found on the doors of every shanty near Branco Bar at Tambdi Maati at Taleigao-Panaji on Wednesday morning ahead of the forthcoming Goa General Elections scheduled on June 2.

About  3-4 notes of Rs 500 were found attached to the election manifesto of the independent candidate Somnath Zuwarkar who is contesting from the Taleigao Constituency in the coming elections.

Election observers rushed to the spot and conducted a panchanama and later seized the currency notes, while also registering a complaint against unidentified persons.

However thre were also rumours that it could be handiwork of the supporters of UGDP candidate Babush Monserrate against Zuwarkar, as the  two are pitted against each other.
