He was arrested over a tip-off provided to Punjab police, along with two of his accomplices – his cousin Vishakha Verma and Ludhiana-based property dealer Suman Nagpal. According to sources, the trio were duping people by exchanging fake currency (of Rs 2,000) with old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes on a 30 per cent commission.

Parminder Singh, SP Mohali said that the fake currency was recovered on Wednesday from a brand new luxury Audi SUV which was used by Abhinav. The vehicle also had a red beacon, which is allowed only for VVIPs only.

In last few days Punjab police officials across India have been conducting raids to arrest two members of the gang who slipped away. The cops said that the currency given by the gang to their customers even after charging customers was fake.

While Abhinav and his cousin Vishakha Verma, an MBA student printed the fake currency, the property dealer was responsible played the role of dispensing it to people who were looking to convert their unaccounted wealth to the new currency. The cops found notes with same serial number.

Last year, Abhinav got a mention from PM Modi in December at the Indian Science Congress in Bengaluru. At the age of 18, he created “Live Braille”, a device to help the vision-impaired to walk without a walking stick.

It gained popularity and was touted as an innovation under the “Make In India' programme. Live Braille has reportedly won awards at major engineering institutes across the country and at Illinois State University. It also won the TiEGER Award by TiE Silicon Valley USA.
