Later, however, the same currency turned out to be original and a case of Hawala racket surfaced.
Informed sources said, Parshotam Lal, a street vendor, was arrested from Kheer Pind, Miran Sahib, based on information divulged by one of his associates, Sanju, whom police arrested from village Khod in the early hours of July 25. Later police arrested father of Sanju identified as Sarfu.
Sources said that earlier police got information that father-son duo was involved in the business of circulating counterfeit currency in Jammu district and based on the inputs a raid was conducted at the residence of Sanju where he was arrested.
During interrogation Sanju told police that he and his father had hidden the consignment in the residence of his cousin at Miran Sahib and accordingly, a raid was conducted to arrest his cousin brother Parshotam. From the residence of Parshotam, police recovered the amount of Rs 1.10 lakh in a bag that was confined beneath the bed.
