Crackdown on Counterfeit: Assam Police Busts Major Fake Currency Network

In a decisive move, Assam law enforcement launched a targeted raid in Chapar, Dhubri district, unveiling a clandestine operation that has long troubled the local community. Coordinated by Circle Police Officer and Officer-in-Charge, the operation unfolded late Saturday night in Barghola Dhirghat, resulting in the arrest of Sahinur Islam, suspected to be the mastermind behind a sprawling network involved in the circulation of counterfeit money. Islam’s alleged association with tantra mantras adds a mystifying dimension to the case. The seizure of approximately Rs 2 crore worth of counterfeit currency, meticulously crafted for domestic use, highlights the grave security risk posed by such illegal activities. Investigations continue, signaling a significant breakthrough in the ongoing efforts to dismantle counterfeit currency rackets in the region.
