Four fake Indian currency
notes (FICN) of face value of Rs 2000 each were seized from two persons near Farakka in West Bengal, police said today.
The two, who hail from Murshidabad district, were caught and arrested when the police found them moving around in a suspicious manner last night.
They were produced at the local court today which remanded them in police custody for five days.
Before demonitisation Malda had become one of the main transit points for smuggling in FICN from Bangladesh before pushing it into the country. However, there have been stray incidents of recovery of small number of fake notes after demonitisation.
The largest haul was on February 20 when FICN of Rs 96000 face value was seized and one person was arrested.
