Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) arrested a contractual employee of Ghatail upazila information service Centre on charge of printing fake currency notes there yesterday.
The arrestee, Mohammad Abdul Aziz, 34, hailing from Niamatpur village in the upazila, has been working as an udyogkta, giving contractual service at the centre for the last one year.
Acting on a tip, a team of Crime Prevention Company-3 of Rab-12 raided the upazila information service centre and arrested Aziz red-handed when he was printing fake notes there, said Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mohiuddin Faruki, commander of the unit.
“The law enforcers also seized 31 fake notes of Tk 500, fake note making papers, two fake certificates of National University, certificate making papers, a laptop, a colour printer and other materials used to make fake notes and documents from the office.
“The arrestee, a member of an organised fake note making ring, admitted that he has been printing fake notes to meet the demand of some cattle traders and cheating people by supplying the fake notes to markets for long,” the ASP added.
The arrestee was handed over to Ghatail Police Station after filing a case in this regard.
Arrested Aziz told this correspondent that he earlier started printing fake notes out of curiosity when he was an employee of a computer business centre in Dhaka.
