The National Investigation Agency (NIA) raided four states on Saturday and uncovered a network involved in the fabrication and distribution of Fake Indian currency notes (FICNs).
Fake notes worth Rs 6,600 (in denominations of Rs 500, Rs 200, and Rs 100) were seized, along with currency printing material, printers, and digital devices.
Based on a complaint filed on November 24, the NIA targeted persons in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, and Bihar who were suspected of being part of a larger conspiracy to trade phony currency notes across borders and encourage circulation in numerous Indian states.
Rahul Tanaji Patil and Shiva Patil in Maharashtra's Kolhapur and Yavatmal districts, respectively, Vivek Thakur in UP's Shahjahanpur district, Mahendar in Karnataka's Ballari district, and Shashi Bhushan in Bihar's Rohtas district were all targeted by NIA teams.
The bogus notes were taken from Vivek's home, while a printer was seized from Mahendar's.
Rahul Tanaji Patil also used unlawfully obtained SIM cards to solicit payments, promising a supply of phony cash notes, according to the investigation.
Vivek, Shiva, and others obtained counterfeit cash printing supplies from neighboring nations.
