According to a recent National Investigation Agency (NIA) report, 80 per cent Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) are sneaked into the country through the 172-km porous border along Malda District, and 55-60 per cent of the consignments from Bangladesh are circulated from the villages in 12 sq-km triangle with 18 villages, The Times of India reports on September 14. The fake currency rackets has taken the magnitude of a cottage industry at Mohabbatpur, Chorianantapur, Sasani, Gopalnagar, Khoribona, Chaknanipur, Misutola and Dangipara, which are easily accessible to Bangladesh's Chapai Nababgunj Distreict, notorious for being a fake currency hub, as well as Nepal, said Malda Superintendent of Police (SP) Prasiun Banerjee. "Also, people here work as labourers in Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi and Assam and they carry the notes with them there," he added. Most of the residents in the villages, including women and children, are part of the illegal trade, which according to a recent Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) report, is crippling the economy of India. In Mohabbatpur, there is not a single home that has not been raided. In fact, hardly any youngster can be found there as most of them have been arrested and the others have gone underground, trying to evade jail. According to the NIA, Malda has become the locus of criminal activities, with links to the Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-backed network of terrorism. According to the Malda District Police report, FICN with a face value of INR 1.43 crore were seized in 2013, the next year, it increased to INR 1.5 crore, while till July, 2015 it is INR 1.97 crore. "The steady rise shows the Police and the security agencies have been more alert and active. Origin source of most currencies is Pakistan," and the quality is so good that it can hardly be distinguished from original notes," Malda SP Banerjee said. NIA officials said this was only the tip of the iceberg. "The seized notes comprise merely just 5-7 per cent of the entire amount pumped into India" and so it is easily understandable how much fake currencies percolate into the main economy of the country," an NIA officer said. "The high-quality Pakistan notes' exchange rate is INR 60,000 for INR 1,00,000. For low-quality notes, it is INR 45,000-50,000 for INR 1,00,000," a District Police officer said. A Border Security Force (BSF) personnel pointed out modus operandi adopted by the smugglers: "People from Bangladesh supply notes to those living in Indian villages outside the border. They stash the notes in sacks and lob them over the fence into India, where the sacks usually land into their counterpart's house." There are other innovative methods too. "Smugglers use defunct irrigation pipes under agriculture fields. Two persons, one on the Indian side and the other on the Bangladesh side, sit at the two ends of the pipe and pass the notes tied to a long tape passing through the pipe," the Police said.
