Kasargod, Nov 19: Kasargod police on Friday November 18 arrested a gang which was engaged in the exchange of new notes for the demonetised notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 on commission basis. Police have also seized Rs 6 lac from the accused and a car used by the gang.

P Harris (39), P Nisar (42), M Naushad (39), C H Siddique (39) and Mohammed Rafiq (30) are the persons arrested.

The gang was reportedly paying Rs 7 lac new notes in exchange for the old notes worth Rs 10 lac.

Police who received the information that the gang was exchanging notes, went to the place of exchange in civil dress and caught the gang red handed.

As the banks only allowed Rs 2000 exchange per person, it is yet to be known how the gang managed to get huge amount of new currency.
A trader from Kanhangad who had allegedly supplied the new notes to the gang also has been arrested.

Police are investigating to see if any bank employees are involved in the case.

    PARADOX! Black money now incresing than decresing. Such fraudsters getting new currency notes easily while commoners struggle to get it and earning more money in exchange. Corruption in new money circulation, may be some black sheeps in banks giving money to such people for commission. Even god can not stop corruption and black money

    Any race starts with the first step. Government takes some steps for the development of the citizens. But if more than 50% of its citizens (government servants, officers, private sectors, public) corrupt then how one can expect development of the nation?
    Already bribe giving and taking has begun in new notes. It’s a pathetic situation. Only and only hungry for money, money and money. Let’s count how much one takes when end sets. More than 50 % citizens are corrupt with not having right conscience, proper cooperation and truthfulness, so much so that they are not even bothered about their soul and hell fire. So evil that they are pakka devils. Cast them into hell fire.
    Mother India has an enormous number of population. Many are directionless especially the growing number of youth force. Proper facilities of drinking water & food, housing, education, jobs, good roads and environment is required for all of us. Step by step, systematically all these have to be achieved. But is there any right & proper step or system exists ? Pakka chaltha hai attitude with grabing from everywhere possible. Grow up citizens grow up. Come to the main stream with clean heart & soul. Together we can perform wonders. It is the only way for each one of our well being . Government set right your offices and citizens your home & family. Thank you and God bless each and every one of us.
