It is learnt that the accused made purchases with fake notes
of Rs 500 denomination this afternoon at several shops in Ralap, Tumin, Raley
and Samdong. She was nabbed by police after staff at the Tumin petrol pump grew
suspicious when she approached them asking for change of Rs 500. Soon after she
left the petrol pump, the staff and local public followed her and caught her at
a bakery at Lower Kambal near Jurassic Park where she was again trying to make
purchases with a five hundred rupee note. They seized the keys of the Maruti
Alto she was travelling in and informed the police.
Police recovered counterfeit notes worth Rs. 21,000 from her.
Along with her, police also arrested her husband who was driving the vehicle and
at present both are under police custody.
