The Anti Extortion Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch arrested two persons, identified as Sana-ul (22) and Suleiman (46) along with Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) worth of INR 480,000 in Dongri in Thane District on November 8, reports The Hindu. The two accused were found to be in possession of 240 fake INR 2,000 notes. They were of superior quality and had the same serial numbers. Investigating officials said the accused hailed from Malda District of West Bengal and were part of a large group of residents of border towns who are regularly used as conduits of fake currency. Mumbai Crime Branch officers on November 10 said that FICN gangs employ poor residents of towns on the India-Bangladesh border to smuggle fake notes into cities like Mumbai. A Crime Branch officer said, “The accused said during interrogation that scores of poor like them hailing from Malda and other border towns signed up for the job as they were in dire need of money. “The gangs operate from across the border and are on the lookout for people willing to take the risk of circulating counterfeit currency to make a quick buck. The officer said the fake currency was sold to Suleiman at 40% of its value and he was told to keep the profits earned while making purchases with the notes. Another officer said, “Both the accused lived in Malda and knew each other well. Suleiman had relatives in Bangladesh and was in regular touch with them. He once came into contact with the masterminds of the fake currency racket in Bangladesh through his relatives. The racket operates on word of mouth publicity and there is no dearth of poor men and women willing to take the risk.”

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on November 12 claimed to have busted an inter-state gang cheating people on pretext of exchanging Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) and arrested three persons from Maharashtra, identified as Rashid Khan, Gagan Kumar Vyas and Iqbal Ahmad Ansari in Dholpur in Dholpur District of Rajasthan, reports The Times of India. The arrest came during investigation into a 2016 NIA case relating to seizure of FICN of face value INR 9.8 lakh, by the Border Security Force (BSF) from Malda District of West Bengal. NIA has already filed a chargesheet in the case naming arrested accused Nasir Sheikh and Tajik Sk. Searches were carried out at two places in Mumbai and one place in Kolhapur (Maharashtra) after the detention of three persons early on November 12. A total of 20 gold biscuits, each weighing 100 grams, have been recovered from their possession so far. The purity of the gold biscuits is being verified. During the preliminary examinations, it was revealed that an inter-state gang had been active since long in the states of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Delhi, and West Bengal. They primarily lured people on the pretext of exchanging high quality FICN or unbilled gold biscuits at attractive rates. They either looted their targets directly or carried out fake police raids with the help of other associates. The targets use to leave their money behind and could not even lodge a police complaint. While investigating the original FICN case, the NIA had recovered fake currency of face value INR 9,80,000 from the possession of Nasir Sheikh near Indo-Bangladesh border. He was arrested on the spot, however his associate from Bangladesh namely Darul Sheikh alias Darul escaped.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has identified Darul Sheikh as the key operator who from Dhaka (Bangladesh) controls an international network dealing in the distribution and peddling of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) aimed at damaging the monetary stability of India, reports Mumbai Mirror on November 20 (today). The NIA is now investigating if Darul's cartel is actively behind the recent spurt in "Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) racketeering" across cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Ahmedabad. Also, the NIA is probing if Tajel Sheik alias Tiger Sheikh and Nasir Sheikh, residents of Malda in West Bengal close to the Indo-Bangladesh, who were arrested in March last year (2016), were 'employed' by Darul to smuggle counterfeit Indian currency notes through the porous border into India. The agency had then seized FICN worth INR 9.8 lakh from the duo in demonetised denominations of INR 1,000 and INR 500. Both Tajel and Nasir were charge-sheeted by the NIA in June this year. The agency's Terror Funding and Fake Currency (TFFC) cell is probing if Darul, a Bangladeshi national, has connections with terrorist groups and their leaders. The cell is also investigating whether he was in touch with members of the gang recently busted by the agency which used to convert demonetised scrap notes aimed at funding terrorists in Kashmir.
