Fake currency recovered from RBI office

Counterfeit currency with a face value of around Rs.1 lakh was recovered from the Reserve Bank of India office here, police sources said on Wednesday.
A case was registered recently after a senior official of the RBI approached police complaining that 296 fake notes of various denominations were detected last month, the sources said.
It is suspected that some banks have “unknowingly” submitted the notes to the RBI, the sources said, adding that the notes have been sent for examination to the Bank Note Press in Madhya Pradesh.
