It may be mentioned that on March 4, Morigaon police seized fake Indian currency notes worth Rs 20 lakh and arrested two persons in connection with the case.

The fake currency notes were recovered from Dighalbari village in Assam’s Morigaon district.

The arrested persons were identified as Ripon Manta and Habibur Rahman hailing from Lakhimpur district.

Reports said the duo had collected money from the villagers claiming that they would return double the sum collected from them within a few days.

Acting on a tip-off, the police launched a search operation and succeeded in arresting the two persons.
