Hyderabad Police Arrest Four in Fake Currency Racket, Seize Rs 6.7 CrorePreviousNext

Hyderabad police arrested four individuals and seized counterfeit Rs 500 notes worth approximately Rs 6.7 crore, dismantling a fake currency racket. The gang operated a printing unit from a rented house in Kuntloor, using software and equipment to produce fake notes. They initially tried to circulate counterfeit currency but later posed as police officers with fake IDs and imitation weapons to intimidate buyers and steal genuine money. Three suspects remain at large as investigations continue.
