New Delhi: The Special Cell of Delhi Police has recently received a huge hand. The police have busted a gang of fake notes and illegal weapons. Police has arrested 5 people in this case. Fake Indian currency worth Rs 4 lakh 10 thousand has also been recovered from the accused. Apart from this, 10 pistols and 68 live cartridges have also been recovered.
When the police got a glimpse of the network of fake notes, the investigation was started. As clues were found, the police team reached Siwan district of Bihar. From here, fake notes were being supplied all over the country. Fake notes coming from Siwan were cleverly sent to different states, which made it difficult to differentiate between real and fake.
DCP Amit Kaushik of Delhi Police and ACP Kailash Bisht’s team played a big role in carrying out this operation. As soon as he came to know about this gang, he conducted a raid one after the other and caught all the accused. Some of these people were caught with weapons.
The gang also included a woman Meera, who used to work as a transporter. She often came from Madhya Pradesh and helped in the supply of weapons or fake notes. Since she was a woman, no one doubted her. But in reality she was an important part of this entire gang. The police were also arrested as soon as he came to know his role.
The leader of this gang was a person named Shamsu, who was caught from Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh. Shamshu had spread his networks in many parts of the country and he was supplying fake notes and illegal weapons in a very vicious manner. He used to send work to different states to the people of his gang so that there is more difficulty in catching the police.
The most shocking thing in this whole case was that the gang had made its Scorpio vehicle a bullet proof. The police suspect that perhaps these people feared that no other gang would attack them, so they used bullet proof car to save themselves. Bullet -proof vehicles usually use VIP people or security agencies, but this gang misused this technique to protect its business.
Now the police is also investigating whether these fake notes were to be used in the elections to be held in Bihar. Because at the time of elections, there is a lot of money movement and sometimes fake currency is also used in such cases. The team of Special Cell is seriously investigating this angle.
