Not a routine fake note bust: Police nab two

KARIMNAGAR: The Task Force police on Thursday nabbed two men for circulating fake currencies in Warangal, Adilabad, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Maharastra and AP.

However, what was interesting in this routine gang-busting exercise was the modus operandi behind the fake note circulation.  The accused, both from Andhra Pradesh, were cleverly applying a black coat to the notes before transferring them to different locations.

This was done to avoid police attention. The black coat was later removed using a chemical solution. They charged `1 lakh in original currency for providing fake notes worth `3 lakh.
