Gang with fake currency notes nabbed in Madurai
Timely intervention by Madurai Rural District Police on Wednesday thwarted a cheating attempt by a gang in Karur district with fake currency notes under the pretext of providing ₹2-crore loan.
Police seized four bags full of fake notes in the denominations of ₹2,000, ₹500 and ₹100, a set of police uniform and two cars and arrested 10 persons.
“Following a tip-off, a special police team intercepted a vehicle to nab two persons, T. Anbarasan, 31, of Madurai and A. Humayun, 42, of Dindigul, who are accused in a 2020 cheating case in Kalligudi. However, during the vehicle check, we found that 10 persons travelling in two vehicles were in possession of fake notes and a set of police uniform,” Madurai Superintendent of Police V. Basakaran said.
In the earlier case, police had arrested some of the accused and were on the lookout for Anbarasan and Humayun, who were caught on Wednesday.
