Police today arrested two persons from Secunderabad here and recovered fake currency having face value of Rs 5.9 lakh from them.
Commissioner's Task Force (Central Zone) nabbed Mohammed Arif and Inam-ul-haq, who had allegedly procured the currency -- in denomination of 1,000 and 500 -- from West Bengal, and were going to circulate it in Hyderabad, police said.
Additional Deputy Commissioner P Rameshaiah said acting on a tip-off, Inam-ul-Haq was arrested at Secunderabad Railway Station after he got down from a train from Malda.
