<b>The fake money worth around Rs 20,000 was found hidden in the courtyard of theCPI (M) leader's house</b>.
With the Lok Sabha elections round the corner, the CPI (M) top leadership has
been left red-faced after a leader of the party's agricultural front was
arrested by police in Nadia district for his involvement in a fake Indian
currency notes racket.
A crack team of the district police and CID which made intensive raids in the
district town of Krishnanagar and adjoining places bordering Bangladesh,
detained Mohosin Mandal, a front ranking leader of the party Kisan wing, a
couple of days back and recovered fake notes worth Rs 20,000 hidden in his
courtyard.
Earlier, the investigating team which has been on a trail of the fake note
smugglers across the international border, was tipped off about Mohosin by two
Bangladesh nationals who were arrested last week for working as agents of
Pakistan-based ISI.
The duo who allegedly revealed during interrogation about the vast ISI network
of the fake Indian currency racket in Bangladesh, named Mohosin as one of the
Indian agents.
Prior to that, sleuths detained another suspect, Jamal Sheikh, from a village
and recovered a dozen fake notes of Rs 500.
When contacted, the CPI (M) Nadia district leadership declined to comment on the
arrest of the party leader for possessing huge fake notes.
Meanwhile, police who had recovered fake notes worth Rs 12,500 from the recently
concluded Ganga Sagar mela, suspect that these surfeit notes are in circulation
over a large part of the bordering districts of West Bengal and many innocent
people have fallen victims to this racket.
