Black Money ruining our white economy: Fake notes worth 3 lakhs caught in Assam

Guwahati, November 7: The hidden aim of eradicating black money behind demonetization has now caught the track again. After almost one year of demonetization the fight against the black money is still on. Fake currencies worth Rs 3 lakhs were captured in Assam on Monday. Along with this a printer, 17 colour cartridges, various colours and other materials used to produce fake currencies were also captured.

 

Team of Assam Police was successful in exposing that how racketeers and anti-social elements are successful in pumping fake currencies in the market to destabilize the economy.

Three suspected racketeers Jainal Ahmed (45), Azmal Hoque (31) and Jiabuddin Lashkar (30), however, managed to escape from the house where they were staying as tenants.

Police sources said the racketeers are suspected to be from Karimganj in Barak Valley. “We have already launched a vigorous search operation to nab the culprits. The accused are suspected to have links with Bangladesh. If this link is established, it will be an international racket of fake currency which was operating in the city,” the source said, adding that the police is also trying to locate whether more such rackets are operating in other parts of Guwahati and across the State.
