Ahmedabad: Three arrested with Rs 3.2 lakh in fake notes
AHMEDABAD: Three persons, including a woman, were arrested from CTM for possessing counterfeit currency notes, with a face value of Rs 3.21 lakh. The notes were of Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 denominations.
One of the accused, Vikesh Vaniyar, a resident of Khokhra, tried to commit suicide by strangling himself, but was rescued. The two other accused were identified as Surendranagar resident Mitesh Vaghela and Ahmedabad resident Alka Joshi.
The three had 242 notes of Rs 500 and 100 notes of Rs 2,000. The cops also recovered Rs 1,700 in genuine notes from them. DCP Achal Tyagi said the the three accused brought the counterfeit notes from Salem in Tamil Nadu at the request of two people from the city. He said teams will be sent to Tamil Nadu for probe as they have not got evidence that the notes were printed in Gujarat.
“We are matching the quality of notes with those seized in Odisha,” he said. He said fake notes with a face value Rs 15 lakh were seized in Odisha in August, and were found to have been printed there.
