Ahmedabad: Absconder caught with Rs 30 lakh in fake currency notes
AHMEDABAD: A 40-year-old man from Mansa of Gandhinagar was caught in the net of cops with fake currency notes of Rs 30L face value, mostly in denomination of Rs 2,000 and Rs 500, said officers. He had allegedly printed the currency notes to repay bank and individual loans.
Inspector Jatin Prajapati of Mansa police station said that the accused Santosh Raval, resident of Panchalpura village was stopped by his team at Gram Bharti Crossroads when he was passing from there on his motorcycle. He said that Raval had been held earlier by Gandhinagar police in 2016 and 2017 cases in which his bail was cancelled as he did not pay certain amounts as instructed by the local court, and he had been absconding since then.
When cops checked the bag that he was carrying on his motorcycle, they found that it was stuffed with currency notes. During prima facie inquiry, cops came to know that all the currency notes were fake and printed by the accused himself.
Cops said that Raval had 1,137 notes in denomination of Rs 2,000 (total Rs 22.74 lakh); 1,204 notes in denomination of Rs 500 (Rs 6.02 lakh) and 1,240 currency notes in denomination of Rs 100 (Rs 1.24 lakh) in the bag.
Prajapati said that they called forensic experts and a bank manager who confirmed all the currency notes were fake.
