We found 27 fake notes of Rs 500 denomination each from there and arrested him,'' said Ketan Rathod, in-charge Police Inspector. Giving details of their modus operandi, official sources said that Chauhan gave FICN to Mori who deposited them in the bank. "They took advantage of March ending as people are in a hurry to count the money and fake notes would easily be passed on as real," said a Police official. "Chauhan's brother Dilip, who lives in Bhavnagar and Lalji Patel are involved. Chauhan and Mori were getting fake notes from Patel. Once we nab him, we will know the source of the counterfeit notes and unravel the entire racket,'' said Police.

Gujarat Police officials said agencies such as the State Anti-Terrorists Squad (ATS), Special Operations Group (SOG) and district and city Police agencies have lodged 85 offences in December 2015 and the first six months of 2016, where Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR 5.3 crore were seized, The Times of India reports on July 23. In last three months alone, Ahmedabad Police registered five cases involving FICN, where each case worth over INR 10,000 in face value. As the security agencies see FICN cases as closely associated with instances of terrorism and anti-social activities, the recent figures show that Gujarat ranks among top five states, reporting the biggest seizures of FICN.A senior official said that compared to INR 1 crore in 2012, the amount has increased five times in 2016. Moreover, earlier consignments were smaller - while 133 persons were caught for the INR 1 crore haul, now 167 were caught for INR 5.3 crore. "Investigation of these cases reveal that most of these notes come from West Bengal with illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The town of Malda is particularly identified as a smuggling point. While traditional routes also involve Nepal and by sea, the porous India-Bangladesh border is exploited where many immigrants buy notes for cheap or bring them for sale in India," said an investigator.
