GUWAHATI, SEP 9: The Assam police on Thursday conducted a raid and busted a large fake currency traders’ circle in Assam’s Nagaon district.
The police seized fake currency worth Rs 11 lakh during the raid and arrested Abdul Jalil, one of the members of the fake note traders’ circle.
On the basis of the confession of the Abdul Jalil, the police managed to seize a machine that made fake notes from Doboka Mikirati.
Nagaon police are currently interrogating arrested Abdul Jalil in their police custody.
The recent illegal trade of drugs as well as the widespread circulation of fake notes have destabilized the atmosphere in the Nagaon district.
“We received information that a person will do a deal of fake currency notes, so we sent some police personnel in civil dresses to the man as a customer. Later we apprehended the person and recovered fake currency notes, as well as one fake currency notes-making machine in possession of him,” a police official said .
