FACT AND FICN IN BIHAR
On the night of May 22, the police in Patna got a tip-off that liquor was being sold out of a flat in Rajaram Apartments in the posh Srikrishna Puri locality. Bihar being a ‘dry state’, the cops quickly arranged a late-night swoop. The raid yielded a lot more than a few liquor bottles—there was Rs 1.8 lakh in counterfeit currency (in Rs 500 and Rs 200 denominations) and banknotes printed on paper sheets, ready to be cut out and circulated. A full counterfeit cottage industry, in fact: printers, paper sheets, a cutting machine and laptop.
