The Ahmedabad Police has seized fake currency worth Rs 1.60 crore in Gujarat. The image of Veteran Actor Anupam Kher was printed on fake currencies in place of Mahatma Gandhi. The term ‘Resole Bank of India’ was also been used in place of ‘Reserve Bank of India’. The counterfeit currency was recovered during a police operation as per media reports.
Two unidentified men duped an Ahmedabad bullion trader using fake ₹500 currency notes featuring Bollywood actor Anupam Kher instead of Mahatma Gandhi.
The pictures of the fake currency have gone viral across social media platforms, sending shock waves among many. The incident has welcomed hilarious reactions from online users.
A police officer at Ahmedabad’s Navrangpura police station said the two men handed over ₹1.3 crore to Bharat Joshi, an employee of the trader, Mehul Thakkar, in counterfeit currency as part of a deal for 2,100 grams of gold worth ₹1.6 crore. “The men promised to return with the remaining ₹30 lakh but vanished with the gold before Joshi realised the notes were fake.”
Thakkar filed a complaint at the Navrangpura police station after discovering the fraud on September 24.
