Fake currency gang lands in police net
HYDERABAD: Four members of a gang, who used to cheat people on the pretext of giving them fake notes for circulation, were arrested from Sanman Lodge at Erragadda on Monday.
The gang used to approach gullible people and offer them fake notes for circulation at a lesser price. They used to fill a suitcase with wads of 'currency' notes, white papers below with fake Rs 50 notes on top.
As soon as they receive the original notes, one of the gang members used to scream that police have raided the premises and flee with the suitcase.
