Acting on a tip-off, DRI sleuths intercepted a bus on its way to Motihari and nabbed the two smugglers, identified as Alam Sheikh and Sujaibul Sheikh, both natives of West Bengal's Malda district, with the haul of fake currency notes, the sources said.
The seized currency notes were in the denomination of Rs 1000 of the highest quality, which the duo had planned to circulate through local conduits in West Champaran district, they said.
