| Cab driver held with 7,500 fake IC notes | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 10: A cab driver was today apprehended by people in the main Vijaypur market of Samba, about 30 km from here, after he gave a fake Rs 500 Indian currency note at a chemist shop against the payment of medicines he had purchased.
The accused was identified as Sukhjinder Singh alias Lovely, son of Mohan Singh of Islamabad in Amritsar, Punjab. His Indica taxi (PB02AX/5709) was also seized.
Sukhjinder was accompanying two Amritsar-based cloth merchants, who had come to their dealers at Vijaypur. This was his second visit with them to the town in the past few days.
Last time, a knife worth Rs 20 was purchased by him from a manyari shop. Against its payment, he had given a fake Rs 500 note and taken the balance of 480 original IC notes.
Today, when he dropped the merchants in the market and parked his cab by the roadside, the manyari shop owner happened to see him. When he went to the nearby Bhardwaj Medical Hall, the shopkeeper followed him.
Police sources said when the shopkeeper found him giving a Rs 500 note to the chemist, he asked the latter to verify if the note was original, or fake.
On verification, the note was found to be fake. The shopkeepers then caught hold of the cab driver and handed him over to police.
SSP, Samba, JL Sharma said a total of Rs 7,500 fake IC notes were recovered from him. These included nine notes in the denomination of Rs 500 and three in the denomination of Rs 1,000, he added. During preliminary interrogation, the accused told police that 8,000 fake IC notes were given to him by a passenger whom he had dropped in New Delhi few months back. Sources, however, said his statement could not be taken as true. There was every possibility of his being a fake IC notes dealer, the sources added. |
