Let us tell you that in January this year, the Special Cell of Delhi Police arrested three people with fake notes worth Rs 50 lakh. These people had set up a proper setup for printing fake notes. In the last 5 years, fake notes worth Rs 5 crore were circulated in the market.
The arrested accused were identified as Asif Ali, Danish Ali and Sartaj Khan. All of them were residents of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh. A few days ago, the Special Cell of Delhi Police had received information that a youth named Asif was selling fake notes openly in the market.
When the police started investigating, it was found that he had made a proper setup in Badaun. He used to sell that money to counterfeit currency dealers in different parts of the country. The police found out that Asif was going to come near Akshardham Metro Station in Delhi with a large amount of counterfeit currency.
After this, Delhi Police laid a trap near Akshardham Metro Station. When the police spotted Asif around 10 pm, he tried to run away but was caught. Along with him, two other accomplices Danish and Sartaj were also arrested by the police.
