Two women held with fake currency

Two women from Bihar were arrested here on Monday with fake Indian currency of the face value of Rs.20,000, police said.

Laadli Khatun and Shubayad Khatun are both in early 30s.

The arrests followed a complaint from local resident Manoj Kumar, who said that a man, Dharmander, tried to dupe him with a fake Rs.1,000 note.

Dharmander was arrested on Sunday and fake currency totalling Rs.15,000 was seized from him.

"The three ... used to get fake currency from Nepal," a police officer said.
