A fake Rs 500 note handed over while buying a packet of cigarettes from a grocery shop has led Karnataka Police to an alleged counterfeit currency printing unit operating on the outskirts of Bengaluru, resulting in the arrest of an MBA graduate who investigators say had only recently been released from prison in an earlier fake currency case, as per TOI.
According to police, Rudresh, who was arrested in 2024 in a major counterfeit currency racket, allegedly resumed printing fake notes soon after securing his release and had restarted the illegal operation from Gangondanahalli near Madanayakanahalli.
