They arrested one man identified as Ajitkumar Nidoni, a resident of Sadashiva Nagar in Belagavi. The police also raided an abandoned house. The fake cash was kept in the cupboard and was meticulously packed.

The police seized Rs 5.84 crore fake currency notes of Rs 2000 face value and Rs 1.26 crore fake currency of Rs 500 notes face value all adding up to a total of Rs 7.10 crore in fake money.

Riyadh, July 6: The government of Saudi Arabia has announced health protocols to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus in the 2020 Hajj season, banning gatherings and meetings between pilgrims.

Touching the Kaaba, the holiest site in Islam, will be banned during the Hajj this year, and a social distancing space of a meter and a half between each pilgrim during the rituals including mass prayers and while in the Kaaba circling area will be imposed, a statement by the Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) elaborated.

Also, access to holy Hajj sites at Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat will be limited to those with Hajj permits starting Sunday July 19 till Aug. 2 2020, and wearing masks all the time will be mandatory for both pilgrims and organisers.
