Gujarat continues to toped in seizures of counterfeit currency between 2015 and 2018 among the 17 bordering states, reports Times of India on January 7. According to a report of the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB), post-demonetisation, in 2017 and 2018, Gujarat seized fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) of INR 101.6 million as compared to INR 39 Million and 2016. In 2018, Gujarat seized 27,724 fake notes of INR 11.5 million. West Bengal led in the value of counterfeit seizure with total value of INR 14 Million. Gujarat, which shares land and sea borders with Pakistan, topped the counterfeit currency seizure charts in 2017 when a little above INR 90 Million was recovered. West Bengal, which shares its border with three countries — Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan — in the same year seized INR 61.9 Million worth of FICN. Top Police officials claim that cops in Gujarat were alert and prevented the FICN from entering the market. A Police official stated that ‘Most of the fake currency cases suggested that they had roots in West Bengal and Bangladesh. These fake notes are routed to bigger cities of Gujarat and thereon supplied to metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore to weaken the economy’. In 2018, Gujarat registered a total of 50 FIRs and booked the same number of the accused in cases of fake currency seizures.

Special Cell of Delhi Police arrested a Malda based smuggler identified as Khalik Sheikh near Anand Vihar Railway station in Delhi on January 21 along with Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) with face value of INR one Million, reports The Times of India. This is the biggest seizure of FICN since demonetization. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), "The recovered FICN appear to have been printed in a sophisticated unit. They have almost all the security features, including thread and watermark. It is very difficult for a common person to distinguish the fake ones from the original currency."

According to Police, the last four fake currency busts, including the second largest seizure of INR 800,000 in May 2018 had FICN notes of INR 2000 denomination.

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”.

According to a report, a special group headed by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)'s Muzzamil Bhat from Sialkot in Pakistan and his lackeys made forays into Bangladesh, the Maldives and Sri Lanka between 2005 and 2007, knowing well that these areas could be used to further their agenda and to target India, reports The New Indian Express on May 7. The Indian state had been following Islamic militancy in Sri Lanka since 2004.The tipping point in the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Sri-Lanka had LeT foot prints all over it. Muzzamil Bhat one of the planners of 26/11 and is reported to be the architect of the Chittisinghpora massacre. The entire construct of this planto use these countries as a launch pad to train terrorists was part of his larger architecture.The FBI in its 26/11 charge sheet named Bhat as D, a key LeT military commander, who was involved in the Chittisinghpora massacre in Jammu and Kashmir on the eve of President Bill Clinton's visit to India in March 2000. In its second chargesheet, filed in a Chicago court, the FBI named an ISI officer, Major Iqbal, and four LeT operatives - SajidMajeed, Abu Qahafa, Abu Alqama and the unknown Lashkar member 'D'. About 'D' the charge sheet states that after the arrest of Zaki-ur-RehmanLakhvi in Pakistan in connection with the 26/11 attacks, he became the overall operational commander of LeT. According to FBI, 'D', who is yet to be arrested by Pakistan, was a handler of David Coleman Headley. Headley told Indian investigators that Muzzamil was involved in the Chittisinghpora massacre. In turn, Headley also said Muzzamil was most trustworthy lieutenant of Lakhvi and apart from Chittisinghpora killings of Sikhs; he planned the Akshardham temple attack in September 2002.Bhat, on the other hand, is a planner and his understanding was that with Indian intelligence and security forces keeping a close vigil on southern India in those years, he reckoned that taking the training camps offshore would be a better idea. Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) was already active in southern India, they had set up a southern chapter across the four states, while Bhatkal had become a new centrifuge.Muzzamil arrived in Sri Lanka and quickly realized that there was traction amongst Tamil Muslims after the Tsunami, and in Bangladesh among the Rohingyas between 2004-2008.But Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) which was extremely active in both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka did not allow Bhat or his henchmen to stabilize their operations. In 2011, ably abetted and assisted by Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) officer Amir Zubair Siddiqui (Counselor in the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo), a new name popped up on the radar - Zakir Hussain - who began to actively consort with and recruit Tamil Muslims on the island. The plan was to recruit them and attack diplomatic missions in Chennai and Bangalore, but RAW once again found the scent and pursued them to cut off their feed stock of financing, explosives and weapons.Once RAW had blown his cover, NIA moved in to charge sheet Siddiqui who was then visa counselor at the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo. Siddiqui was arrested for allegedly conspiring to attack vital establishments in India and was quietly withdrawn before the NIA's request under Mutual Assistance Legal Treaty (MLAT) reached Colombo.The terror plot was uncovered after the NIA police personnel arrested an ISI agent Mohammed Zakir Hussain (37) through the 'Q' Branch of the Tamil Nadu police in 2013. The reason was that he was gathering details about vital installations in Tamil Nadu and sent photographs to Siddiqui. Hussain used his counterparts Sivabalan and Mohammad Salim to circulate Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) in the state.During questioning, Hussain also confessed that he had also used Rafeeque (29) to pump in FICN in the state.A much larger network of Maldivians, Sri Lankan Muslims and Malaysian Tamils was discovered through this overarching probe.

Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) was already active in southern India, they had set up a southern chapter across the four states, while Bhatkal had become a new centrifuge.Muzzamil arrived in Sri Lanka and quickly realized that there was traction amongst Tamil Muslims after the Tsunami, and in Bangladesh among the Rohingyas between 2004-2008.But Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) which was extremely active in both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka did not allow Bhat or his henchmen to stabilize their operations. In 2011, ably abetted and assisted by Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) officer Amir Zubair Siddiqui (Counselor in the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo), a new name popped up on the radar - Zakir Hussain - who began to actively consort with and recruit Tamil Muslims on the island. The plan was to recruit them and attack diplomatic missions in Chennai and Bangalore, but RAW once again found the scent and pursued them to cut off their feed stock of financing, explosives and weapons.Once RAW had blown his cover, NIA moved in to charge sheet Siddiqui who was then visa counselor at the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo. Siddiqui was arrested for allegedly conspiring to attack vital establishments in India and was quietly withdrawn before the NIA's request under Mutual Assistance Legal Treaty (MLAT) reached Colombo.The terror plot was uncovered after the NIA police personnel arrested an ISI agent Mohammed Zakir Hussain (37) through the 'Q' Branch of the Tamil Nadu police in 2013. The reason was that he was gathering details about vital installations in Tamil Nadu and sent photographs to Siddiqui. Hussain used his counterparts Sivabalan and Mohammad Salim to circulate Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) in the state.During questioning, Hussain also confessed that he had also used Rafeeque (29) to pump in FICN in the state.A much larger network of Maldivians, Sri Lankan Muslims and Malaysian Tamils was discovered through this overarching probe.

According to a report, a special group headed by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)'s Muzzamil Bhat from Sialkot in Pakistan and his lackeys made forays into Bangladesh, the Maldives and Sri Lanka between 2005 and 2007, knowing well that these areas could be used to further their agenda and to target India, reports The New Indian Express on May 7. The Indian state had been following Islamic militancy in Sri Lanka since 2004.The tipping point in the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Sri-Lanka had LeT foot prints all over it. Muzzamil Bhat one of the planners of 26/11 and is reported to be the architect of the Chittisinghpora massacre. The entire construct of this planto use these countries as a launch pad to train terrorists was part of his larger architecture.The FBI in its 26/11 charge sheet named Bhat as D, a key LeT military commander, who was involved in the Chittisinghpora massacre in Jammu and Kashmir on the eve of President Bill Clinton's visit to India in March 2000. In its second chargesheet, filed in a Chicago court, the FBI named an ISI officer, Major Iqbal, and four LeT operatives - SajidMajeed, Abu Qahafa, Abu Alqama and the unknown Lashkar member 'D'. About 'D' the charge sheet states that after the arrest of Zaki-ur-RehmanLakhvi in Pakistan in connection with the 26/11 attacks, he became the overall operational commander of LeT.

A multi-agency probe involving Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Intelligence Bureau (IB), Customs and India’s external intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has begun on suspicion of narco-terrorism soon after six Pakistan nationals were arrested in high sea off Gujarat coast from a fishing boat from Karachi, reports Times of India on May 25. This incident was earlier reported by South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) on May 22. In a simultaneous operation, three Pakistani and three Nepali nationals were arrested in Kathmandu with Rs 7.6 crore in fake Indian currency notes (FICN) of Rs 2000 denomination. “Those arrested included FICN kingpin Yunus Ansari,” said a senior DRI official. Ansari is known to have links with India’s most wanted don Dawood Ibrahim and Pakistan intelligence agency ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and has been responsible for running FICN network from Nepal. He is also suspected to have links with proscribed Pakistani terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) that has been responsible for several bomb blasts in India. Son of a former Cabinet minister of Nepal Saleem Mia Ansari, Yunus was arrested twice earlier in 2010 and in 2014 based on DRI information for circulating FICN. “In the last few months, maritime route in the Indian Ocean has been exploited by the international organised narcotic smuggling syndicates for trafficking drugs. The other sensitive route has been India-Pakistan border in J&K where DRI had made seizure of heroin and arms and ammunition in a joint operation with Indian army last year,” a senior DRI official said.

Karnataka appears to be emerging as a hotbed of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) circulation, with counterfeit notes with a face value of INR 24,728 (on an average) being seized every day over the past three and a half years, reports The Times of India. Various state and central agencies seized FICN with a face value of INR 3.1 crore in Karnataka during the period, whereas the nationwide haul was around INR 75.5 crore. The figures came to light through a reply by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to a query in Parliament. A National Investigation Agency (NIA) officer, on condition of anonymity, said that currency racketeers from Bangladesh have managed to cultivate a network in the State. “They have changed their bases after getting exposed. We have found their presence in Belagavi, where fake currency was circulated among daily-wage labourers and workers in sugar factories. Locals working on commission basis to pump fake notes into circulation have also been arrested in the past. They use the Maharashtra border to enter Karnataka. In all these cases, we found that racketeers chose poor locals and lured them with attractive commissions,” he explained. “In other instances, we have found fake currency being circulated among coffee plantation labourers. They either use Bengaluru’s outskirts as a transit point or distribute it from small towns. Their network is sophisticated and most of the operators don’t know each other. They work for a quick buck and transport fake notes via train, bus or other means of transport,” the officer explained. Banks deposited INR 1 crore FICNs in RBI, Karnataka.

There has been increasing unease over a counterfeiting threat to an earlier series of INR 100 notes in the post-demonetization period, reports First Post on July 7. However, freshly minted INR 2,000 and INR 500 Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) detected in the banking channel last year (2018) are of low quality, reveals an intelligence analysis. While suggesting more sophisticated security features for INR 100 notes, the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau asked the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to adopt more effective anti-counterfeiting measures with the highest security features and texture in printing currency. It has also called for strengthening counterfeit detection systems at banks. Over 1.13 lakh notes in denominations of INR 100 were detected in the banking channel during the first six months of 2018, while 12,000 notes of the new INR 2,000 denomination and 8,000 notes of the INR 500 denomination were unearthed by banks. Between January and June 2018, a total of 32,000 notes of the INR 2,000 denomination were seized. Intelligence sources claimed that counterfeiters, despite using high-quality printers, are finding it difficult to copy security features of the new INR 500 and INR 2,000 notes. Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), which produces FICNs to disrupt India's financial system, has made Bangladesh as its main base to supply counterfeit notes. An analysis of seized FICNs reveals that the ink and paper used by the ISI is of a high quality. Some recent seizures indicated that fake Indian currency was also printed on cigarette paper. The intelligence collected so far has identified at least six Districts bordering Bangladesh that have become important transit points for circulating FICNs to various cities in the country using cash couriers. Around 88 FIRs (First Information Reports) in West Bengal and 60 FIRs in Assam have been filed in this regard. Malda, Uttar Dinajpur and Murshidabad in West Bengal; and Dhubri and Barpeta in Assam have turned into hubs for smugglers of FICN. Among these, Dhurbri and Malda have seen the highest number of such crimes. Since people on both sides of the border are very poor, law enforcement agencies are facing a tough time in convincing them to co-operate in disrupting the smugglers' network.

There is a declining trend in the circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) in the country, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman informed Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) on July 15, reports Business Standard. "The data as reported by RBI and seizure of Fake Indian Counterfeit Notes (FICN) by state police and other agencies as reported by National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reveal that there is a declining trend in the circulation of FICN in the country," she said in a written reply. Sitharaman, however, said West Bengal Police reported that the flow of FICNs continues from the Indo-Bangladesh border, particularly in the Malda area (Malda District of West Bengal). "However, all such FICNs were of low quality i.e. computer generated or manipulated," the Minister noted. She also said after the withdrawal of the legal tender status of INR 1,000 and INR 500 currency notes on November 8, 2016, there have been no reported cases of seizure of High Quality FICNs of INR 2,000 and INR 500 denomination till early 2019.
