The Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police arrested four persons with a huge consignment of fake Indian currency notes of face value Rs 47.18 lakh from New Market in central Kolkata late Thursday evening.
Additional Commissioner of Police (STF) Rajiv Kumar said the four persons — Upendra Chowdhury, Kumar Guatam, Naushad Khan and Zafar Ali Miyan — were arrested following a specific tip-off that the group was shopping in the New Market area with the fake currency. The STF team picked them from 6, Chowringee Lane where they purchased commodities worth Rs 1 lakh.
"We seized Rs 47.18 lakh of fake notes from the group. Chowdhury, a resident of Nepal is the kingpin. He has several cases against him in the country. He used to bring fake note consignments from Pakistan to Nepal via Bangkok or Malayasia. This time also they used the Nepal-India border to sneak into the country," said Kumar.
