In a complaint to Vittla police, Krishnappa, said that he pledged his gold ring at a outlet of Muthoot Finance and got the Rs 2,000 note.

He used the note to purchase liquor at the outlet of MSIL. As he was going towards his house, two MSIL employees came in a vehicle and stopped Krishnappa. They told him that the note he had given was a colour photo copy of the original.

They took away the liquor and gave him back the note he had given them. Krishnappa went to Muthoot Finance who denied having given him the note.

He also went to the branch of Syndicate Bank from where the finance company had brought the money. The bank officials too denied that they dispensed with such a note. The police said that they are looking into the issue now.

Subbu, Mangalore,
That app is only for fun. Not for scanning the currency. It does work even on a xerox copy of new Rs.2000 note.

- Fake currency starts off from their favourite United States of Gujarath and goes across the country.

2] It will stop terrorists funding.
- 3 terrorists held with the New Rs. 2000 note currency, while poor still stand in long queues at banks.

3] Black money will be stopped and black money holders will be jailed.
- SBI waives off loans of more than 50 loan defaulters including Vijay mallya.

4] Demonetization will boost economy
- All markets affected due to lack of sales activities in the past 2 weeks.
- Dollar is higher than ever at Rs. 68.14/ USD.

5] 15 Lakhs will surely com into ur account.
- Government takes people's own hard earned money to fee the crony capitalists, even at the cost of 56 people's death till today.

Feb 25: Two Customs Preventive officers allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in Kerala were removed from service, a top official said in Kochi on Monday.

Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Kochi, said that he took action against Radhakrishnan B, Superintendent of Customs, and Rahul, Inspector of Customs, who were allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in the state.

Radhakrishnan was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 24998.61 grams having a market value of over Rs 8 crore through Thiruvananthapuram international airport on May 13, 2019, Kumar said.

Rahul was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 11,035.54 grams valued at over Rs 4 crore through international airport on August 19, 2019, the Customs Commissioner added.

Radhakrishnan is currently lodged in Central prison, Thiruvananthapuram after the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau under the Union Finance Ministry issued detention order under COFEPOSA (Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974).

Rahul, against whom detention order under COFEPOSA was issued, is absconding.

"Two Customs officers of the Customs Preventive Commissionerate, Kochi, who were involved in gold smuggling cases were removed from service by Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Cochin," an official release said.

Kumar said that both the cases were booked and investigated by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and while show cause notice under Customs Act 1962 has been issued against Radhakrishnan, investigation is under progress in the other case.

"Both the officers were removed from service, after due process of law under Rule 19 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965," the release said.
