A man was arrested with counterfeit currency worth approximately ₹2 lakh hidden inside a mango crate on a government bus traveling from Malda to Asansol. The arrest was made at the South Bengal State Transport Corporation (SBSTC) bus depot near Jubilee More on National Highway 19.
The accused, identified as Rajendra Prasad, is a resident of Nituriya in Parbelia, Purulia. The seizure was carried out by the West Bengal Police’s Special Task Force (STF), acting on specific intelligence. On Wednesday night, STF personnel boarded the Siliguri-Asansol government bus disguised as passengers.
When the bus reached Asansol depot, a person arrived to collect a crate of mangoes. As soon as he picked it up, STF officials detained him and conducted a search, recovering a large volume of counterfeit ₹500 notes concealed inside the crate. Police have launched an investigation to identify others connected to the case. According to officials, the arrested man is being questioned, and efforts are ongoing to trace the source and destination of the fake currency.
