Addressing a press conference, commissioner of police Sanjay Agarwal said that crime branch had some inputs that a haul of counterfeit currency notes has arrived in Jaipur and it was to be circulated in the city ahead of festive season.

"Our team kept a vigil on a suspect Khemraj (26), a native of Jaipur. Later, it was found that he was talking to two strangers on counterfeit notes. Thus, a team of Amber police first apprehended the threesome and later arrested them," Agarwal said.

The other two persons were identified as Anarul Sheikh (40) and Aalam Momin(27), both natives of Malda. "A joint team will interrogate the accused to know more about their nexus and will also find out how much counterfeit notes they managed to circulate in the market," the commissioner added.

Our team is already camping in Malda and have apprehended some persons. We are likely to arrest more persons who were part of this gang," Agarwal said.

In the evening, Jaipur police succeeded in arresting Naushad in Malda with the help of local police.
