In the first arrest made today, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested one Jahir Sekh, a resident of Malda district, who was wanted by the agency in a Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) racket probe of last year.
A statement by the agency said Rs 8.94 lakh cash was seized from Sekh's possession.
The agency arrested two others from Murshidabad district yesterday and they have been identified as Malda residents Anikul, alias Islam, and Salim in connection with a similar case.
Anikul and Salim were wanted by the agency as there was a non-bailable warrant pending against the duo.
They will be produced before a special NIA court for further custody, the agency added.
