Gujarat Police seized a fake-note printing machine in Ahmedabad. A team of the crime branch of Rajkot police conducted a search on a bungalow in Bopal area and recovered the fake-note printing machine and some blank papers meant for the notes.
The search was conducted on the information received from one of the two persons nabbed in Rajkot two days ago with fake notes of Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 denomination near Hanumanmadhi. One such machine was recovered during seizure of notes from a car. The duo was part of a fake-note gang based in Ahmedabad.
Raids were also being conducted to nab their mastermind. The Income Tax department has been informed about the recovery.
