Delhi Police Bust Interstate Fake Currency Racket, Arrest Three Including KingpinPreviousNext

Delhi Police uncovered an interstate counterfeit currency racket operating between Maharashtra and Delhi, arresting three individuals including the alleged kingpin, Natraj Mohan Kanchan. Authorities seized 299 fake currency notes, primarily Rs 100 and Rs 500 denominations, and dismantled a printing unit in Navi Mumbai. The operation began after a shopkeeper in Bhalswa Dairy detected counterfeit notes during a transaction, leading to investigations and multiple arrests linked to the distribution network.
