In a coordinated intelligence-led operation, Jammu and Kashmir Police successfully neutralized an inter-state counterfeit currency syndicate, apprehending three key operatives and seizing high-grade fake Indian currency notes across multiple raid locations in the Jammu division. Senior police officers confirmed that the criminal module had established sophisticated printing setups and distribution networks spanning northern states.
Tactical raiding squads recovered counterfeit notes featuring denominations of five hundred rupees, accompanied by high-resolution digital scanners, specialized watermark printing plates, magnetic ink ribbons, and paper sheets matching legitimate currency textures. Preliminary technical interrogation revealed that the cartel distributed forged currency notes through crowded wholesale vegetable mandis, fuel stations, and weekly rural bazaars to evade detection.
Investigators initiated financial forensic inquiries to trace the money laundering trails and identify interstate accomplices operating across neighboring Punjab and Haryana. Law enforcement officials appealed to commercial banking personnel and local traders to inspect currency notes meticulously and immediately notify local police stations upon discovering suspicious banknotes.
