Bangladeshi woman among 3 held in fake currency case

A Bangladeshi woman and a couple from a neighbouring village were arrested here today in connection with a counterfeit currency racket, police said.
Police said that a bus conductor from neighbouring Keezh Sathamangalam village had deposited Rs 40,000 in the account of a person in Bangalore at an Axis branch here yesterday.
While counting the cash, the cashier detected fake currency notes in the denomination of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 for a sum of Rs 21,000 out of the money sought to be deposited.
The bank filed a complaint with police, who took the man into custody.
Police said the man revealed during questioning that a 29-year-old woman from Bangladesh residing in his house in the village had given him the money and asked him to deposit in the account.

Based on this, the trio was arrested and cases registered against them under IPC Sections 489(A) (counterfeiting currency notes or bank notes) and 489 (C) (possession of forged or counterfeit currency notes or bank notes).
