The special cell of Delhi Police has busted a Bangladesh-based syndicate involved in pumping and circulating Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN), allegedly printed in Pakistan, from unspecified location of India Hindustan Times reports on June 24. The arrested persons have been identified as Anand Tarapedo Bahg, Mohammad Babar, Gopal Laxman Mithapara and Dinesh Gorasava. Among them, two of the accused - Mithapara and Gorasava - were apprehended from Delhi’s Connaught Place on June 19 with fake currency notes worth INR 8,00,000. SN Shrivastava, special CP (special cell), said the recovered FICN are of very fine quality and because of this we suspect that they were printed in Pakistan. The arrests, Shrivastava said, came following an operation, which was launched two months ago by the special cell to bust the syndicate involved in pumping and circulating fake notes in India. “During the operation, we tracked a syndicate based in Malda District [West Bengal] for such activities. The gang used to obtain currency notes printed in Pakistan through Bangladesh border and then circulated them through various people across India. The members of the syndicate from Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan used to collect the consignment of fake notes from Kolkata and Malda and then the same was distributed in their respective areas,” Shrivastava said.

Kolkata Police arrested four persons for their alleged involvement in running a fake foreign currency exchange racket, The Times of India reports November 7. The accused identified as Kalam Sheikh, Himmayat Sheikh, Haidar Molla and Issar Rehman are Bangladeshi nationals. Surprisingly, genuine passports were found on them. "The accused used to offer lucrative exchange rates. They scanned neighbourhoods in Salt Lake and prepare a list of victims. They used to meet victims at PNB crossing and hand over fake currencies hid among genuine notes," said an officer.Interrogation of the accused point fingers at one Iqbal Kana from Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh), a history sheeter who has fled to Pakistan. Police are now investigating if the accused have any links with Mohammad Ali, who was arrested by the Special Task Force (STF). Ali allegedly carried funds to Ranchi for the Indian Mujahideen (IM).According to central agencies, Murshidabad, Malda, Nadia and North 24-Parganas are the four worst-hit Districts as far as dealings in fake currencies is concerned. National Investigation Agency (NIA) sources said Bangladesh-based units circulate more than 70 per cent of fake notes, taking advantage of the country's porous border with Bengal. "The number of infiltrators has jumped significantly. We believe that though Abdul Karim Tunda is behind bars, his close aides are operating at the local level, making identification difficult," said a Police officer.

The fact that Special Task Force (STF) has seized more than INR 150 million Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) since its inception indicates Kolkata is a crucial stopover in the terror map, The Times of India reports on November 7. Kolkata is hemmed by four Districts - Howrah, Hooghly, North and South 24-Parganas that have a common border with Bangladesh. Police have identified at least eight vulnerable points, particularly in North and South 24-Parganas, which give easy access to the city without using the main entry points like Howrah bridge, Vidyasagar Setu and Howrah and Sealdah station that are under watch. Terrorists use Achipur, Budge Budge, Batanagar and Garden Reach as alternative routes to bypass Police."There have been instances when arms and explosives were smuggled in and used in subversive activities. Unless we can stop this we cannot control terrorism. Our commandant and the North 24-Parganas SP will have regular meetings and we will follow up on the arrests made by us. We met the DGP and he has assured all assistance," said ADG-BSF (South Bengal) B.D. Sharma."Indian Mujahideen and some Bangladeshi outfits like Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B) Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) use Kolkata for logistics, transport, funding and shelter. Bangladeshi outfits use this route to sneak into Nepal," an officer said.
