According to a senior DRI official, two persons named Khaleel Chalkara and Mohammed Shabbir were intercepted from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus railway station after the agency found fake Indian notes of Rs 500 denomination stocked in the sidewalls of a carton that they were carrying. The duo told the interrogators that they had picked the currency from Kathmandu and travelled to Lokmanya Tilak Terminus via Bangladesh and then went to Gorakhpur before they took a train for Mumbai.
The investigating agency found that a person by the name of Mohammed Kunju was directing the duo. Kunju is in judicial custody. He was arrested by the Alibaugh police in fake currency case.
The investigators learnt that Kunju, who was admitted in hospital while in custody, was directing the operation through his son. A team of DRI conducted a seizure at Kunju’s home and recovered Rs 89,600 stacked in gunny bags part of which the DRI believes is fake.
