The Border Security Force (BSF) Friday apprehended two people and seized fake Indian currency notes (FICN) of Rs.2.84 lakh face value from West Bengal's Malda district.
The arrests and seizure were made at the Malda railway station during a joint operation by the BSF and the Government Railway Police (GRP).
