An incident in Raipur, where a UPSC aspirant who had once cleared his Preliminary, along with his wife, got associated with a fake currency group. They together have started to print the fake notes, of Rs 2,000 in the denomination.
Following a tip-off, the Raipur Senior Superintendent of Police Amresh Mishra alerted the city police. The police planned an attack, raided the house and caught the couple with Rs 5 crepe cash lying around near a coloured printer, two mobile phones and a laptop.
The couple then tried to convince many other big and small companies about their tie-ups with NGOs. Pursuing them to invest money, the couple later would promise them to return 80 per cent of the sanctioned corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds, as soon as they sanction to the NGOs which will get the remaining 20 per cent.
