Upon challenging, miscreants fled away to Bangladesh taking advantage of darkness, hilly terrain and thick vegetation. On searching the area, BSF recovered a bag containing 105 fake Indian currency notes in denomination of Rs 500.
An FIR was lodged at PS Umkiang and the fake notes were handed over to the police. The BSF said the fake currency recovered is of very low grade, probably locally printed in Bangladesh.
