Mangaluru mein city police ne 4 logon ko arrest kiya hai, jo Nakli currency chap rahe the. Police ne Rs 2,13,500 ke Rs 500 denomination ke fake notes Hampankatta se recover kiye. Accused V Priyesh (38), Vinod Kumar K (33), Abdul Khader SM (58) jo Kasaragod, Kerala se hain aur Ayub Khan (51) jo Puttur, Dakshina Kannada se hain, ko identify kiya gaya.
City police commissioner Anupam Agrawal ke mutabiq, main accused Priyesh, jo Kasaragod mein Cherkala mein ek printing press chalata hai, debt mein tha. Debt chukane ke liye usne fake currency chhapna shuru kiya. Usne raw materials Kozhikode aur Delhi se online purchase kiye aur YouTube se counterfeit currency banane ki training li. Pichhle 3 mahine se wo apni printing press mein fake notes chhap raha tha.
Police ne bataya ki accused ne high-quality fake Indian currency notes (FICN) banayi,
jo aam logon ke liye asani se detect karna mushkil hai. Baki teen accused uske saath milkar ye notes circulate kar rahe the.
Tip-off milne par, police ne unhe ek lodge se arrest kiya jab wo Rs 1 lakh ke fake notes Rs 25,000 cash ke badle bech rahe the. Commissioner ne kaha ki is crime mein aur log shamil ho sakte hain aur investigation jaari hai.
Police ne unse Rs 9,030 cash aur teen cell phones bhi recover kiye.
