Man held for printing fake currency notes

Ankit, a man in Kanpur, India, was arrested on Wednesday for printing and circulating fake currency notes. He has reportedly made startling revelations about how he and his friend Aman were forced to print the fake notes because they had lost money in an online game. The money belonged to their mothers, and they invested Aman's mother's one lakh rupees while Ankit invested his own mother's five lakh rupees. According to the police, the accused had printed about 20 lakh fake notes which were circulated in nearby areas, including Ghatampur, Unnao, Kanpur Dehat, and Fatehpur district. The name of an army jawan has also come to the fore as the kingpin of a gang of counterfeit notes. At present, the army jawan is posted in Kupwara, Jammu and Kashmir. Investigation into the case is ongoing.
