Belagavi: Fake currency worth Rs 7.10 crore seized, kept for distribution during election


Daijiworld Media Network – Belagavi (RJP)

Belagavi, Apr 18: The Belagavi city police busted a fake notes racket and arrested a person on Wednesday, April 18. They also seized counterfeit notes worth face value of Rs 7.10 crore.

Ajit Kumar Nidoni, a resident of Sadashiva Nagar here is the arrested person.

It is believed that the notes were stocked for distribution among voters on the eve of the polling day.

Acting on the credible information received, police raided an abandoned Public Works Department (PWD) quarters building in Visvesvaraya Nagar. The fake cash was kept in a cupboard that was meticulously packed.

The police seized Rs 5.84 crore fake currency notes of Rs 2,000 face value and Rs 1.26 crore fake currency of Rs 500 notes face value. The total value was Rs 7.10 crore in fake money.

    Political Parties can receive any amount without disclosing the name of the donor, right. Only thing is it needs to be transferred from a Bank account. Even if Osama was alive he would have taken advantage of the "political provision". May be money withdrawn and kept safe for distribution. After all, who received crores and crores this year after demonetization, please? This money is not part of 15lakhs promised. That's coming later not now.

    Under the new law being reviewed those caught selling replica consumer products could face up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $68,064 but in India the powerful people are involved in selling fake currency, goods,drugs so they will not get any punishment and after some time they will come out and do the same business.

    If it was BJPs money, party name would have been in the headlines of this news. So it's obvious who is the owner of this Junk. Watch NDTV and other MSM news about 45 crore worth money seized and whom does that belongs to .

    Demonetized currency is NOT fake currency; it is currency that is no longer legal tender. Hoarders are having a field day, especially at election time to get rid of those demonetized notes and unload them on gullible voters who may be fooled in thinking that they are getting rich!!! How low the election contestants, from whichever party they hold tickets to run, can get!

    First hang that person who has notes in his house ,then investigate.
    Because if investigation done after the person who bought notes will slip from this crime.If such 4-5 hangs are done these politicians to whichever party they belong to will come in track ,& this person has to be hanged in public.
    Now see here ,no political party will agitate to this incident
    If such fake notes are printed & circulated our country will go to dogs & cats
