Two held for printing, circulating fake currency in Mumbai.
The Mumbai Police Crime Branch has arrested two people allegedly involved in printing and circulating fake currency notes in the city. The accused are allegedly part of a gang that was earlier busted in Kerala, and those arrested at the time included a Malayalam television actor and her family members.
The two accused have been identified as Vishnu Vijayan (28) and Don Warki (26). Officers said they were caught on the basis of a tip-off received by police constable Amit Mahangade with the Crime Branch Unit IX.
“The tip-off was verified under the supervision of senior police inspector Mahesh Desai, after which teams led by police inspectors Asha Korke and Sanjeev Gawde laid a trap at Veera Desai Road in Andheri on Thursday. The two were intercepted in a white Santro and were found to be carrying counterfeit ₹500 notes with a face value of ₹2.94 lakh,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Detection I) Akbar Pathan said.
