Now, the fake currency notes Rs 2,000 have surfaced in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada district triggering panic among the people in coastal Karnataka.

On Tuesday a resident of Punacha village near Vittla in Bantwal was taken aback after he was told that Rs 2,000 note he carried was just a colour photo copy of the original.

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.

What Bhakts said and what happened ?

1] Demonetization will stop fake currency circulation.
- 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.
