3 held with fake currency in Uttar Pradesh

LUCKNOW - Uttar Pradesh Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) Tuesday nabbed three people with counterfeit notes with face value of Rs.1 lakh in Kanshiram Nagar district, police said.

The three men were nabbed from the Ganjdunwara railway station in the district, some 300 km from Lucknow, while they were going to hand over the fake notes to some clients.

“The three have admitted that they used to work for an inter-state fake currency racket that operates from Nepal,” police inspector J.M. Tripathi told reporters in Kanshiram Nagar.

“Preliminary investigations have revealed that besides Uttar Pradesh, the three operated in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttarakhand,” he added.
