KATHMANDU, JUL 29 -
Police rounded up two Indian men for trying to circulate Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) from Gaushala in the Capital on Thursday.
The arrestees have been identified as Nanu Prakash Ashok and Mohammad Ismail of India, who were supposed to receive a consignment of FICN with a face value of IRs 9.437 million that was smuggled in by two Vietnamese couriers.
According to investigators, the men were in the Capital to take the consignment to Birgunj and then smuggle to Indian cities.
But the duo’s plan was thwarted when security personnel at Tribhuvan International Airport caught the Vietnamese couriers—Nguen Van Thuy and Hoang Thi Thanh—with the
FICN in the denomination of IRs 1,000 and IRs 500 on July 2. In course of interrogation, the arrested men purportedly confessed to having involved in the racket under the instruction
of Pradeep (identified only by first name) of Birgunj, said police.
