Vadodara: Four conmen held with fake currency
VADODARA: The local crime branch of Vadodara rural police arrested four persons with fake currency notes with the face value of Rs 22 lakh on Wednesday.
The four accused were handed over to Narmada police on Thursday as they had conned a person in Rajpipla by promising to double the money through ‘tantric’ rituals. Police said that they had nabbed the four accused identified as Shivu Makwana, Rajesh Makwana, Ibrahim Makwana and Vijaysinh Mahida from Ankhi bus stand near Por.
Cops had received information about the four accused being involved in some suspicious activities.
When their car was checked, police found wads of notes of Rs 2,000, Rs 500 and Rs 100 denomination. However, the currency notes with face value of Rs 22 lakh turned out to be fake. Original notes of Rs 2.6 lakh value were also found on them.
When questioned, the four accused told police that they cheat people by promising to double their money through tantric rituals. “They had conned a person in Rajpipla on Wednesday. When the victim realized that he was cheated, he lodged a complaint at Rajpipla police station,” said LCB inspector D B Vala.
