Fake notes racketeer held in Gujarat

AHMEDABAD: Gujarat ATS nabbed Natu Dabhi,, who had been on the run for four years, on Thursday morning from Vadodar village of Morva Hadaf taluka in Panchmahal. SP, ATS, Deepan Bhadran said Dabhi was the man behind a huge racket of fake Indian currency notes. An accused, Narsingh Ravat, who had been arrested on March 30, 2016 with FICN of Rs 1,41,80,000 face value, had spilled Dabhi’s name during interrogation.
“Since then we had been on the lookout for Dabhi,” said an ATS official, who added that during interrogation Ravat had admitted that Dabhi had already been successful in circulating a significant amount of FICN in Gujarat.
Acting on a tip-off, an ATS team went to Vadodar village in early morning on Thursday. “He was sleeping when we arrived. We had him tested for Covid-19 and he tested negative. We will now present him in court for remand,” said an ATS official.
