It has been found that fake Nepali notes are being printed in India and supplied to Nepal. It has even been revealed that their network extends from Nepal to India.
It has been revealed that Nepali counterfeit notes are being printed in India and supplied to Nepal through porters. The police reached India to find out about its 'nexus'.
After six people were arrested with 1,000 counterfeit notes in Gokarneshwor-8, Kathmandu on December 15, the network was investigated and found to have a 'nexus' connection to India.
Based on the statements of the six arrested people, Bara police arrested Gaurishankar Yadav of Kalaiya Sub-metropolitan City-2. Based on Yadav's statement, he took control of himself and, with the help of his Indian counterpart, Bara District Police Office Police Chief Narendra Kunwar and his security team, went directly to Lala Patauna village in the Motihari district Mufsil police station area of India last Sunday and raided it. But he himself does not admit to having gone to India. A raid was conducted from there and Ravi Srivastava, a resident of Pheta Rural Municipality-3 in Bara district, was arrested. A desktop, computer with CPU, colored paper, 137 fake Rs 500 notes, some Indian notes, a fake American pistol, etc. were recovered from his room.
Since the case was initiated from Kathmandu, the arrested Yadav and Srivastava along with the seized items were taken to the Kathmandu Police Complex, Superintendent of Police Kunwar said. He claimed that Srivastava was arrested from the border area. 'Its Nepal-India nexus was discovered by cunning and taking complete security risks,' he said, 'this had not been discovered before.'
People are frequently arrested with fake notes in the border area. But the police could not reach the place where the printing was done during the investigation, nor were they arrested with the proof of identity and the printing materials. After recovering the man and the fake currency, the police had contacted the Indian Consulate in Birgunj for Nepal. But to no avail. Police officials say that the nexus was discovered directly in India.
