#bhalswadairy #outernorthdelhi #DelhiPolice #FakeCurrency Delhi Police's Outer North District has busted a major interstate fake currency racket and arrested three accused involved in printing and circulating counterfeit notes. During the operation, police recovered 286 counterfeit ₹100 notes, 13 counterfeit ₹500 notes, and six sample counterfeit ₹500 notes. Investigators also uncovered a fully functional fake currency printing unit in Navi Mumbai, where laptops, printers, lamination machines, and specialized materials used to manufacture counterfeit currency were seized. Initial investigations suggest the gang was printing fake notes in Maharashtra and supplying them to Delhi for circulation. The case began on June 29, 2026, when Pankaj, the owner of a general store in Bhalswa Dairy, noticed something unusual. A customer walked into his shop to buy five packets of cigarettes and paid using six ₹100 notes. While handling the cash, Pankaj became suspicious because the texture and appearance of the notes did not feel genuine. Instead of alerting the suspect, he discreetly informed Head Constable Prateek, who regularly patrolled the market. HC Prateek immediately reached the shop and examined the currency. Based on its physical characteristics, he suspected the notes were counterfeit. Acting swiftly, he detained the suspect and informed senior officers. During questioning, the man identified himself as Natraj Mohan Kanchan (62), a resident of Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. A search of his bag led to the recovery of 96 counterfeit ₹100 notes. An FIR was registered at Bhalswa Dairy Police Station, and a detailed investigation was launched. Considering the seriousness of the case, a special police team was formed under the supervision of Joint Commissioner of Police Vijay Kumar, Additional DCP Amit Kaushik, and ACP Vijay Kumar Vats. The team was led by Inspector Rakesh Rana, SHO of Bhalswa Dairy, along with SI Vishal, SI Mahesh, HC Prateek, HC Mahipal, and Woman Constable Prakash. During sustained interrogation, Natraj revealed that he was staying at a hotel in Paharganj. Police immediately raided the hotel room and recovered 180 more counterfeit ₹100 notes and 13 counterfeit ₹500 notes, taking the investigation to the next level. Natraj further disclosed that he had supplied fake currency to Subhash Chandra (55), a resident of Maksudpur, Delhi, for circulation across different parts of the capital. Acting on this lead, police arrested Subhash on June 30 and recovered 10 counterfeit ₹100 notes from his possession. The investigation then took officers to Natraj's residence in Navi Mumbai, where, with assistance from the Mumbai Police, they unearthed a complete counterfeit currency printing unit. The raid resulted in the seizure of an HP laptop, Epson printer, Zebronics lamination machine, watermark papers carrying "Bharat" and "RBI" markings, blank paper reams, green polythene rolls, cutters, and other printing equipment allegedly used to manufacture fake currency. Based on technical surveillance and digital evidence, police tracked down Vinod Munnilal Jaiswar (38) and arrested him from Navi Mumbai Railway Station on July 13, 2026. Investigators say Vinod was the technical mastermind of the syndicate. He allegedly created counterfeit currency templates using computer software and supervised the printing process. According to police, Natraj Mohan Kanchan was the main supplier of fake currency in Delhi and had previously been involved in a cheating case. Vinod Munnilal Jaiswar handled the technical design and production of the counterfeit notes, while Subhash Chandra was responsible for receiving and circulating the fake currency in Delhi. In total, police recovered 299 counterfeit currency notes, including 286 fake ₹100 notes and 13 fake ₹500 notes, along with six sample counterfeit ₹500 notes. Authorities are now examining the seized electronic devices for digital evidence to identify other members of the network and trace the full circulation chain. Police believe the racket may have links to other states, and further arrests are expected as the investigation progresses.
