Kolkata Police in 2018 confiscated Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) worth INR eight million and arrested 30 people in connection with it, reports Times of India on January 29. The accused were based in Malda District as well as Jharkhand and Rajasthan. The Special Task Force (STF) is also worried about FICN dealers trading in illegal firearms. The Police believe that some criminals from both West Bengal and Bangladesh are contacting Munger (in Bihar) based workers to complete the assembling of weapons and paying them with FICN. STF official stated, “It seems that the accused were sending weapons in Bangladesh in lieu of the FICN. This is a win-win situation for both. While the FICN dealers could escape the glare of security forces on the border, those operating here could release the FICN received in smaller lots. This minimizes the chances of their arrest”.
