Routine Vehicle Check Yields Fake Currency Notes Worth Rs 53 Lakh
A routine vehicle check by Gandhinagar police yielded a large consignment of fake currency notes worth Rs 53.8 lakh. A man and woman were arrested by Mansa police. Interestingly, the duo had learnt to print fake notes online from YouTube.
Mansa police intercepted a two-wheeler on April 30. On checking the bag of the rider, cops found brand new currency notes in the denomination of Rs 2,000, Rs 500 and Rs 100. Suspecting the currency to be fake, further investigation revealed that Santoshkumar Raval (40) had stacked Rs 53.8 lakh fake currency notes at his residence.
Accused led two lives with wife, paramour
Raval’s interrogation revealed he lived with his wife and son while being in a relationship with one Vaishali Chaudhary. Raval ran two households, one with his wife and son and another with Vaishali. He came in contact with Vaishali who taught at a tuition class where his son studied. He had entered into a relationship with Vaishali seven years ago. Raval and Vaishali hatched a conspiracy to print fake currency notes. Raval scanned the currency notes and printed them while Vaishali cut the notes using a paper cutter.
Mansa PI Jatin Prajapati said, “The accused had printed more than Rs 53 lakh worth of fake currency notes but were yet to put it into circulation.”
