Dhaka Police recovered fake Indian currency worth over Rs. 7 crore from a house in the city on Saturday. The money was hidden inside a water tank in a house in the Dakshinkhan area of Dhaka in more than 1400 bundles. The fake currency notes produced in Pakistan were sent to Sri Lanka from where they were transported in a marble container to the Chattogram port. It was intended to be pushed into India through the border areas of Bangladesh.
