Fake currency racket
busted
Rajpura, April 19 According to city SHO Bikramjit Singh Brar, the police received an information that a person was travelling with the fake currency notes. Acting on the tip-off, the police put up a checkpoint near the railway underbridge and stopped the vehicle in which the accused was travelling. On searching the vehicle, the police recovered suspicious looking notes, which were later found to be fake. The police immediately placed the driver of the vehicle under arrest. On being interrogated, Yadwinder admitted that he was running a fake currency racket and had been supplying the currency to various parts of the state and also to the neighbouring state of Haryana. He told the police that he had taken an accommodation on rent in the Samana segment of the district where he had installed his equipment. He used to print the notes there and circulate these through a network, he added. The SHO said Yadwinder used to sell the fake currency for half the total worth of the notes. Meanwhile, the police has registered a case against the accused. The matter is still being investigated to find out the modus operandi of the gang and crack the network through which the fake currency was circulated in the market. |
