A 20-year-old girl was found with 41 fake old notes of denomination of Rs500 on Monday; no case has been registered and the Aishbagh police have started investigation into the matter.
SHO of Aishbagh police Rajeev Jangle said that the girl was found with the fake old notes but in the initial investigation it was found that the girl would have circulated the currency in the market but she was not having any intention of circulating fake notes as she would be easily nabbed by the bank employees.
The investigation would be conducted in the transaction details of the account and other details would be searched and in case if it found that the girl was involved in the circulation of the fake notes action would be taken against the girl, he added.
On Monday the girl went to deposit the currency notes in her Punjab National Bank Account at Govindpura branch and when she provided the currency notes for depositing they were found to be fake by the bank employees.
The cashier Hariram Kori informed the bank manager Vinod Patel who immediately informed Aishbagh police.
On the receipt of the information a police team reached the spot and started investigation. The girl was identified as Arshi Parveen of Ashoka Garden. The girl told the police that she had withdrawn the amount from an ATM around few months ago and have used notes for purchase.
