Mohali, Nov. 15 -- Police have busted an interstate fake currency syndicate operating across Punjab, Haryana and neighbouring states, seizing Rs.9.95 crore in fake and demonetised notes in Dera Bassi. The accused allegedly cheated a Phase 4 Mohali jeweller of Rs.7 crore through a carefully crafted currency exchange scam. The Dera Bassi police arrested two men, Sachin and Gurdeep, both from Kurukshetra, after intercepting their white Scorpio-N near the Ghaggar bridge based on a tip-off. During the probe, police uncovered that the duo visited the jeweller's shop pretending to buy jewellery and told him they were exchanging old Rs.2,000 notes, offering him a 10% commission if he arranged clients. Trusting the scheme, the victim transferred Rs.7 crore from his own account, expecting a 10% profit per transaction. The moment he sent the money, the accused blocked his number and disappeared. htc...
