New Delhi: Demonetisation had hit the illegal factory of fake Indian currency notes and the route through which fake Indian currency notes were supplied had no movement but in recent few months, investigator noticed the movements of Jahiruddin and Kranti Chaudhary (FICN supplier) on the old FICN routes involving Pakistan.
Sources in Special Cell told Millennium Post that they were probing whether the note of Rs 2,000 which was recovered from the two accused might be printed in Pakistan.
"The quality of the notes was high that it was impossible to detect whether it was a fake currency we suspect it can be printed in Pakistan but we are probing from all possible angles," said an investigator.
A police official stated that the earlier route of pumping fake Indian currency notes into India was Pakistan-Bangladesh-Nepal-India but after demonetisation, no movement was seen until April 2017 after which they noticed movements from the route.
