Fake Customs Officers Seize Genuine New Currency

By Vijay Kumar

FIVE men claiming to be Customs officers raided a house in a remote Kerala village and ran away with 69,000 rupees worth of new currency notes. They told the owner of the house that they were Customs Officers and wanted to search the house as they had information that new currency notes were hoarded there. The house owner 'admitted' that he had withdrawn Rs. 69,000 for urgent need by standing in queue several times.
