Fact Checks - Never get scammed again from fake news on Telegram - Video Fact Check by Journalists

Two men were arrested in Uttar Pradesh's Sonbhadra district for running a fake currency racket, where they printed ₹500 notes on ₹10 stamp paper. The accused, Satish Rai and Pramod Mishra, used a computer printer to create dummy notes, which were nearly identical to real currency. According to the police, all the notes had the same serial number, making them easy to spot for anyone familiar with the currency's security features. The duo had already circulated ₹30,000 worth of fake notes and were attempting to print another ₹10,000 when they were caught in a raid at Ramgarh market.

The two men, who worked as mineral water ad printers, reportedly learned how to produce the fake currency through YouTube tutorials. Along with the counterfeit notes, the police seized a range of materials including a laptop, printer, 27 stamp papers, and an Alto car used in the operation. "No one would be able to identify that they are not real unless they know detailed features of the currency notes," said Additional Superintendent of Police Kalu Singh. The arrest has raised concerns over the ease with which counterfeit currency can be produced and circulated using online resources.
