A special team of Kolkata Police (KP) has arrested from Allahabad the kingpin of a racket involved in manufacturing and smuggling of fake Indian currency notes (FICN), a senior officer of the Force said today.
Acting on the confessions by an arrested person, a special team of Kolkata Police visited Allahabad and nabbed the kingpin of the FICN racket yesterday, he said.
The KP also seized FICN of face value of Rs 1.71 lakh, mostly in denominations of five hundred and one hundred, from the man.
