Two persons were arrested today for allegedly trying to deposit fake currencies of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 denomination totalling Rs 2.5 lakhs in separate banks today.
A team of Additional Superintendent of Police Rakesh Kumar and Officer in-charge of Janipur police station Mohan Kumar caught a person carrying notes valued Rs 1.5 lakhs, in the denomination of banned and counterfeit Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, the SSP's office said.
The arrested person was identified as Tarun Kumar Singh, Manager of Sahara India.
