Lucknow: Two days after a gang manufacturing fake fake currency records and five people, including a GRP police officer, was arrested, Lucknow’s police on Friday said that Mastermind was Bangladesh National identified as Jameel.
The police said Jameel, who was still great, was proficient for making fake Indian national rupees (INR).
On January 12, Salman alias Aftab (21), Mohammad Mubassir (20), Mohammad Arbaz (20), Shavez Khan (22) and Rahul Saroj (32), a GRP police officer, was arrested for circulating a fake currency on the market.
A senior police officer said that Salman claimed that he studied the art of making a fake currency from Jameel.
“Jameel works in a shop near The Security Printing Corporation located in Ghazipur, Bangladesh.
Corporation scores the country’s currency notes.
Jameel studied the art from there,” police claim.
Before 2019, Jameel was used to print fake Indian currencies in Bangladesh and smuggle it to the Indian region.
However, since 2019, piled up by the border security force and an increase in vigil by anti-terror institutions forced Jameel to stop cross-border smuggling and he came to India and began making notes here.
“Jameel also lured the unemployed young men with the pretext of getting their work and formed several groups.
He used to teach them to make a fake currency record and then sent it to various parts of the country.
He also gave them a 20% discount in total sales,” added senior officers .
A senior officer at ATS, who has led several hard acts on the gangs, said that the records that resemble INR were produced by smugglers in Bangladesh.
“They can manage it easily because of the availability of starch paper and textile fibers in neighboring countries,” he said.
