Police Investigate Separate Currency-Related Fraud Schemes in India
Authorities have uncovered two separate criminal schemes involving currency-related fraud. In Chhattisgarh, police arrested nine suspects linked to an interstate gang that duped over 100 people across several states by falsely promising to convert damaged currency into new notes and double money using chemicals. Separately, in Bhopal, a gang has targeted women by gaining their trust and exchanging fake currency bundles for their jewelry, fleeing with the valuables. Police are investigating both cases and have seized evidence while seeking the suspects.
