How Fake 2,000 Notes Are Smuggled Into India From Bangladesh Border On February 15, 100 notes were seized from the border at Churiyantpur. On 19th, 96 notes were seized again from a courier on the National Highway. In one case the courier was caught and handed over to the police. In the other, the courier escaped leaving the packet along the fence separating India and Bangladesh. With villages in close proximity on the international border, the smugglers use places like Sushani and Churiyantpur to smuggle in fake notes. The BSF says most couriers used on the Indian side reside on the border and sometimes the villagers do it themselves. Even if the courier comes from another place they are in touch with the villagers for cover and coordinating their escape once the consignment is picked up. The courier usually pretends to be working in the fields if it is day time. If it is night time, they simply hide in the bushes or mango orchards. The smugglers from Bangladesh do the same and ...
