The Kannur police have busted a counterfeit currency note racket operating across Kasaragod and Kannur districts of Kerala.
Following the recent arrest of a 36-year-old man, identified as Shiju from Kandoth, Payyanur, who was found in possession of counterfeit notes earlier, the Kannur town police investigating the case have now apprehended a 45-year-old woman, identified as P. Shoba, linked to the illicit operation.
Shiju’s arrest came after an incident at a local bar in Kannur where he used fake currency to settle his bill. The staff promptly alerted authorities, leading to Shiju’s arrest at a nearby location where he was found in possession of counterfeit notes. This led investigators to uncover a broader network of money counterfeiters operating in the region.
