The Phuentshogling police seized 40 fake Bhutanese banknotes in the denomination of 1000 amounting to Nu 40,000 last week. 

According to Police, a 56-year-old man from Jaigaon tried to pass the money to his wife from the Phuentshogling border gate. Police refused to take the money from him twice in the past and told him to transfer it legally. Last week, he again appeared at the closed gate and dropped a parcel in a black plastic bag and left the scene. With help from the bank, police confirmed it as counterfeit notes.

Police said the details of the suspect was sent to Alipurduar police in India. Meanwhile, the wife who stays in Phuentshogling is out on surety. The case will be forwarded to the court soon.

Police are investigating the source of the counterfeit notes. Meanwhile, police are cautioning the general public to be vigilant while handling money. The Royal Monetary Authority had also published a booklet in the past “Know Your Money” to help the public recognize genuine Ngultrum currency and guard against counterfeits.
