JAIPUR: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI)'s Jaipur branch,
on Wednesday, lodged an FIR with Gandhi Nagar police
when the authorities found fake
currency worth Rs 1.73 lakh during a routine inspection
of currency notes done every six months.
According to the police, the RBI makes routine checks
of the currency which is stored by the agency in an interval
of six months. "They found fake currency worth Rs 1.73 lakh
and handed it over to the police," said Kushal Singh,
incharge of Gandhi Nagar police station. The police have
registered a case and investigation is going on.
The police said recovery of fake currency worth lakhs
of rupees has become a regular feature. Despite this,
the probes have failed to yield results.
The police suspect these currency notes might have been
circulated in the city banks after being smuggled into
the Indian territory from Pakistan or Nepal. The SOG had
busted a gang in Nepal a few months ago in which the cops
had nabbed some locals involved in the racket.
