The accused are Manoj, 37, of Sonepat in Haryana; Azad Singh, 36, of Delhi and Sunil, 27, of Sonepat in Haryana.
"They were arrested late Friday night at Singhola village in Narela. Counterfeit currency with a face value of Rs 18 lakh was seized from their car," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Sanjeev Kumar Yadav said.
