A suspect involved in the deposit of fake currency worth Rs. 50.8 million in a bank in Peshawar a few days ago has been arrested from Lahore.
Haroon, a resident of Peshawar involved in counterfeit currency dealings, was apprehended by the FIA Lahore. The suspect deposited Rs. 50.82 million in a private bank in Peshawar on April 27 and came to Lahore to withdraw the money, but the manager had him arrested.
According to bank officials, the deposited amount in Peshawar was fake. Since the suspect was an old customer, currency notes were not checked at the time. However, two days later, bank staff suspected the notes to be fake. According to FIA officials, there is a possibility of reversing suspicious or counterfeit currency deposits.
