Fake currency gang busted in city
Police early yesterday busted a fake currency-making factory and arrested a youth with fake notes and machineries from the city's Pallabi.
The owner of the factory Masud Rana, 35, was arrested with counterfeit notes of different denomination worth Tk 389,500 from his resident at section 7, block-B of Arambagh in the area.
Police also recovered 667 pieces of printed papers, a bundle of white papers with sticker of Bangladesh Bank, dyes, two scanners, two printers and checkbooks of a private bank from the flat.
Police said they detained Masud's wife and two children but set them free following a primary interrogation, as they were not found involved. Masud was placed before a Dhaka Court seeking seven days remand but the court granted four days remand for interrogation.
House owner Kazi Nazrul Islam told The Daily Star that Masud rented the flat at the fourth floor of his six-storey building three years ago claiming him a vegetable trader of Karwanbazar.
