Tension gripped Paloncha in Kothagudem after a ballot box from polling station number 151 was found at the local police station following polling. News of the incident drew cadres of BRS, CPI and other parties, along with senior leaders, who demanded an explanation from the police.
The case was booked following complaints lodged by Azmeera Lakpathi, Bhukya Sharada and others, with the police on Sunday, alleging that the accused persons had collected huge amounts in the form of promissory notes, cash and cheques from them.
