Kasargod, August 28: The police on Monday arrested a person on charges of circulating fake currency notes.

The arrested is K.A. Abdul Nazeer, 42, a resident of Anangoor here.


Circle Inspector of Police Babu Peringath said that Nazeer was a known 'hawala' money carrier in north Kerala. He secured fake currency of the face value of Rs.24 lakh from one Osman, who was arrested by a team led by Circle Inspector C.K. Sunil Kumar recently.


Nazeer's arrest was made on the basis of tips given by Osman. Nazeer destroyed notes of the face value of Rs.7 lakh by burning it after the arrest of Abdul Jabbar from near Cheruvathur on August 18.


The police team which raided Nazeer's residence recovered the burnt remains of the currency, Mr. Peringath said. Nazeer reportedly told the police that the rest of the notes were handed over Osman as directed by his handlers in Dubai. Nazeer's arrest was made under IPC section 489(b) (using as genuine, forged or counterfeit currency notes or bank notes) and 489(c) (possession of forged or counterfeit currency-notes or bank-notes and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender).


A local court in Kanhangad remanded him to two weeks in judicial custody.

Bengaluru, Jan 13: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat on Monday held a protest march at Ramnagar district’s 
Kapalabetta under the aegis of Hindu Jagran Vedike’s ‘Kanakapura Chalo’ campaign against the construction of the world’s largest Jesus statue there.

Hundreds of protesters of the Vedike staged a protest march in the city starting from the Kanakapura Ayyappaswamy temple.

“We are not here to disturb the peace. We have met each other at the wedding of Sriramulu’s daughter. So you know who I am, DK Shivakumar. How long will you continue with these lies? Is the intention behind the statue of Jesus to solidify your vote bank? Build the statue in America or England, we will not allow it here,” said the RSS leader as the keynote speaker at the rally.
