The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has initiated a probe into the seizure of counterfeit coins from a factory in outer Delhi’s Bawana Industrial Area, The Hindu reports on October 4. The agency, according to the Delhi Police, suspects that those involved in the racket could be linked to groups based out of India. “Almost all the previous seizures, which have mainly been of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN), had currency pumped in from abroad. We believe that the Rs. 40,000 we seized is just the tip of the iceberg. The scale of production could be way higher,” said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer) Pankaj Singh. He added that since the seized coins with denominations of Rs. 5 and Rs. 10 were identical to the real ones, they would approach the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) asking them for security features for coins.

The Special Cell of Delhi Police busted an organised syndicate pumping Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) into capital New Delhi, Times of India reports on October 4. FICNs worth INR 300,000 have been seized and two syndicate members were arrested. The arrestees were identified as Neetu alias Radha (34) from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh; and Salim Sheikh (23) from Malda, West Bengal. "Sheikh was a carrier for a supplier named Nasiruddin. Neetu received the consignments and supplied it locally. Neetu said shopkeepers readily accept such notes due to being almost identical to real currency. She's been doing it for a year now," said DCP (Special Cell) Sanjeev Yadav. Both the arrested individuals said every new security feature introduced in currency notes is copied, and most of the fake currency exchange takes place through the Nepal border. "Fake currency is being pumped into India to cripple the country's economy. Malda has become the epicentre of narcotics and counterfeit currency rackets due to its strategic location close to the international border. The name of Pakistan-based Iqbal Kana pops up in every fake currency racket," the DCP said.According to the report, these notes had been smuggled into India from Pakistan via Bangladesh and Police seized three cellphone handsets with SIM cards. Cops suspect the proceeds of fake currency sales contribute to the proliferation of sophisticated weapons in the country through Bangladesh. They also suspect that these are used to fund terror outfits as well.
