Vadodara: Panchmahal Special Operations Group (SOG) police searched Imran Sindha’s house in Vadodara as part of their investigation for a counterfeit currency scam. They searched his residence at Al Minaar Heights in the Tandalja area of Vadodara and seized watermark chemicals and foil used in counterfeit note production.

Imran Sindha’s involvement has surfaced in a case where 19,000 fake notes were seized in Surat. He allegedly produced these counterfeit notes. He distributed them in exchange for Rs 20,000 in genuine currency and gave Rs 1 lakh in fake currency. Two accomplices, Soyeb Abdul Sattar Patel from Godhra and Mohsin Shabbir Sindha from Bharuch, were arrested earlier with 800 fake Rs 500 notes.

During the investigation, Mohsin revealed that his sibling Imran distributed approximately 4 lakh fake notes in the market. Police continue their search for Imran Sindha by analysing call records and pursuing leads in Hansot.

Panchmahal SOG PI Rakesh Patel stated that police seized materials for making fake notes from Imran’s house in Tandalja. These included ink and chemicals that are not easily accessible to the public, along with equipment for applying watermarks on currency notes. They also found foil used to create the green band on the notes. Investigations uncovered that the counterfeit currency was predominantly circulated in tribal areas. DeshGujarat
