Contractual Worker Under Investigation in ₹17.29 Crore PNB Fake Currency Case
A contractual worker earning about ₹11,000 monthly has become central to the investigation of ₹17.29 crore in counterfeit currency recovered from a Punjab National Bank currency chest in Saharanpur. The National Investigation Agency is probing his assets, including five houses and multiple vehicles, alongside his financial transactions and close association with the suspended currency chest manager. While no direct link between his assets and the fake notes has been established, authorities are scrutinizing his access to the facility and role beyond his official duties.
