Gujarat tops the list of five Indian states that are considered the "safest" for circulating Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) allegedly pushed in by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) according to the latest data released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), The Statesman reports on September 6. Of the 30,354,604 FICN seized across the country, 87,47,820 were recovered from Gujarat in 2014. Chhattisgarh followed close on the heels with the seizure of 7,386,900 fake notes, while Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana saw recoveries of 5,437,600, 3,249,000 and 1,696,850 counterfeit notes. Police officers monitoring the circulation of FICN suspect that the ISI is pushing such notes in India which have a greater resemblance to India's high denomination INR 1,000 and INR 500 notes. The officers said that they have been noticing for the past few months that differences between genuine and counterfeit notes were reducing and that around five such differences have actually disappeared. "The paper being used to make the fake notes is now more similar. The stiffness is almost the same. The security thread (in the right half) on fake notes also resembles that on the genuine currency...The watermark (the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi in light and shade) has also been nearly matched," an officer, who did not want to be named, said. "The identification mark on the left of the note looks quite similar in counterfeit and genuine notes. The optical variable ink also looks similar," he added. Of the 30,354,604 counterfeit notes seized across the country, those in the INR 1,000 denomination was the highest at 19,895,000. The recovery of notes in the INR 500, INR 100 and INR 50 denominations across India was 9,490,500; 938,800 and 25,000. "All the border areas in India have been facing the problem with the circulation of fake notes trade and the drug trade," said the officer. Apart from the road and railway routes, the air route via Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as also China and Holland, are being used for smuggling in fake notes.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on October 20 arrested a suspect, identified as Purshottam Kesri, in a fake currency case from Trikampura area of Surat District, reports The Times of India. NIA sources said they had taken over the investigation of a case relating to recovery of fake Indian currency notes (FICN) bearing a face value of INR 10 lac from Murshidabad in West Bengal. "During investigations, the name of Uttam Kumar Sinha came to light after which he was arrested from Dhanbad in Jharkhand on October 18," said an NIA official. NIA sources said during Sinha's primary interrogation, it came to light that his accomplice Purshottam Kesri was hiding in Surat. NIA dispatched a team to Surat and arrested Kesri with the help of Surat Crime Branch from Trikampura in Surat. "Sinha is supposed to be the kingpin of the fake currency racket and his gang was instrumental in dispatching fake currency notes worth more than Rs 4 crore to parts of the country," said an NIA official.

On December 13, the Special Operation Group (SOG) of Ahmedabad's Crime Branch arrested two brothers, identified as Mofizul Shaikh and Shabudding Shaikh, residents of Murshidabad District of West Bengal, along with Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) worth INR 8,00,000 from Astodia Darwaja area of the city, reports The Times of India. SOG officials said, "Mofizul has confessed that he stored fake notes at his house in Thane near Mumbai. During interrogation the duo claimed that they have been pumping fake notes in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi since the two years. " Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Crime Branch, Deepan Bhadran said: "The fake currency notes of Rs 1000 and Rs 500 denomination are of high quality and have been sent for forensic examination. We have also written to the government mint in Nashik for verification." An SOG official said, "While scrutinizing the bank account of Raees (earlier arrested in Uttar Pradesh), we found Rs 92 lakh was deposited in his account at different stages. The masterminds of the racket paid him half the value of fake currency notes that were disbursed. Going by that, Rs 92 lakh deposited in Raees's account amounts to fake notes worth more than Rs 1.50 crore."
