The NIA had earlier filed a chargesheet against four accused persons, including Aladu, who was involved in the procurement of fake notes from his Bangladeshi accomplices.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), in a joint operation with the Border Security Force (BSF), has arrested a person wanted for allegedly smuggling fake Indian currency notes.
The accused has been identified as Aladu aka Matahur, a resident of Malda in West Bengal. He was wanted in connection with a case registered by the NIA in October 2019. The agency took over the probe from the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, which had seized ₹1.99 lakh in high quality counterfeit currency notes from a person in September the same year.
