The discovery of a Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) production unit in Kolkata (West Bengal) has sent alarm bells ringing in the security establishment, The Times of India reports on March 4. Housed in a three-storeyed residential building, at Kankurgachi area of the city the racket is suspected to have been in operation for nearly five years. Police have sought help from all central agencies, including National Investigation Agency (NIA). The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have also been alerted. "If they are manufacturing foreign currencies, it is obvious they have ready buyers. Besides, they would need raw material and dices to replicate foreign currencies. It is obvious the gang was operating in close coordination with an international racket. We cannot move forward with the probe unless we get proper assistance from central agencies," a Police officer said.

Movement of terror elements across the International Border, smuggling of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) into India and narcotics to Bangladesh featured in the four-day Inspectors General level conference between the Border Security Force (BSF) and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) that concluded at Kolkata on June 11, reports The Times of India. "Both sides expressed their concern about the suspected movement of terror elements across the border. Bangladesh is particularly concerned after the Khagragarh blast that revealed how Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) modules operated in West Bengal. We assured the BGB that care will be taken to prevent movement of jehadis across the border and their officers told us that steps will continue to be taken against anti-Indian militant groups that have operated from Bangladesh in the past. The BSF also brought up the issue of attack on Indian border troopers by Bangladeshi smugglers," a senior BSF official said. The BSF also pointed to the large numbers of FICN seized over the last several years and urged the BGB to increase patrolling. Theft of cattle from Indian villages and abduction of Indian nationals were also discussed. Joint patrolling in vulnerable areas and confidence-building measures between the two forces were discussed. "The BGB agreed to extend all co-operation in operations against FICN and gold smugglers. There will be co-ordinated patrolling in vulnerable and smuggling prone areas. Stress will be laid on more joint events like sports and games to forge better relations between the two forces and the border populations. Head of BGB delegation of Brigadier Geneneral D S M Shaheedul Islam spoke of the contribution made by Indian armed forces in the Liberation War of Bangladesh and assured his commitment towards Indo - Bangladesh Border Guidelines, 1975. He also expressed his gratitude to Government of India for signing Land Boundary Agreement and addressing long-pending border issues. Both forces mutually agreed that field commanders will meet frequently and work out details for implementation of the land boundary agreement," the official added.

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.

There he learnt coding and decoding," the officer said adding that several email address leading to ISI agents were found in Khan's mail. "He then returned to India in 2008 crossing the Nepal border and started living at 76/B Collin Street in the southern part of the city.
