Smuggling fake notes? Been there, done that
When law enforcement agencies arrested Manglu Sheikh and two others in West Bengal’s Malda district on July 20 this year for allegedly smuggling fake Indian currency notes (FICN) worth ₹7 lakh, they were in for a surprise — almost four years ago, before demonetisation, Manglu and his men had been arrested for the same crime.
Manglu, a resident of Kaliachak in Malda, had been arrested in the same district in 2014 for smuggling FICN with a face value of ₹2 lakh. Imprisoned for 22 months, he was freed after completing his term.
Further enquiries revealed that three other members of his family had also been charged for smuggling FICN.
And Manglu’s family is just one among several such cases where more than one member of the family in the Kaliachak region bordering Bangladesh is accused of smuggling FICN.
