Lucknow, Aug 25 (UNI) Stressing upon speedy insvestigation into the SBI Dumariaganj fake currency racket, former president of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Jagdambika Pal today demanded the state government to hand over the case to the STF, if the CBI was delaying the matter.

Mr Pal said here the haul of fake currency seized from the main chest of the SBI in Siddharthnagar district is a serious matter.

Therefore, to save the country's dignity, the CBI should start it's investigation without any delay, he added.
