BREAKING: Michael Lobo Caught Red-handed On Camera Distributing Money

CALANGUTE, GOA: In a late night breaking development, former Calangute, North Goa MLA who joined the Congress and was given a ticket for the constituency along with this wife for the neighboring constituency was caught red-handed on camera distributing money to residents of the area.

This is a developing story. The video is doing the rounds on social media and has gone viral. We will update you as more information becomes available.

The video which was released by  Prudent Media – a local Goan news channel, shows Lobo giving a packet to a voter with his own hand. The date, time and exact location of the video is not known, but it seems it is a very recent one and was shot either today late evening or maybe last evening as Lobo was campaigning in his constituency.

Another video released by a YouTube channel clearly shows Lobo giving a handbill to one lady, then walking up to the door of another family, putting his hand into his pocket and giving another woman something, which is obviously money.

The State Election Commission and the Elections Observers have been alerted and the Poll Agency has begun investigations into the allegations. Election officials did not comment and only said they were examining the video which has gone viral.

Michael Lobo was not available for comment and attempts to contact him were futile. His phone was switched off or out of network coverage at the time of filing this report.
