Car was going to Visakhapatnam from Raipur
Counterfeit notes with a face value of ₹7.90 crore were seized from a car in Odisha’s Koraput district on the Odisha-Andhra Pradesh border and three persons arrested on Monday.
“During regular vehicle checking at the Sunki post on our border, we found four trolley bags from a hatchback car bearing Chhattisgarh number. We found counterfeit notes in ₹500 denomination in them,” Koraput Superintendent of Police (SP) Varun Guntupalli said at a press conference in Koraput on Tuesday.
“Upon interrogation, three persons confessed that they got the fake notes prepared by a colour copy-maker in Chhattisgarh capital Raipur. They were on their way to deliver the consignment to someone in Visakhapatnam,” he said.
