I put board game currency in the SBI ATM, says accused

The accused replaced board game currency with originals notes at the ATM. He was caught while trying to get original currency again by replacing it with board game currency.

New Delhi, Feb 24: On Thursday, the police arrested one Mohammad Isha after he put fake notes in an SBI ATM in Delhi. The police learnt during his questioning that he worked at a security firm and had mapped the route taken by the cash van.

He told the police that he had set out to buy a board game for his nephew. A part of this game were fake notes, similar to the Rs 2,000 note. He decided that he would replace them at the ATM with original notes. He said after doing so, he wanted to buy another board game and replace a few more notes, but before he could do that, he was arrested.

He told the police that he had spent some of the currency he had taken out from the ATM. The police is now trying to find out if Isha had carried out this incident on his own. The police are in touch with the bank for more details.

On Wednesday, a State Bank of India ATM in South Delhi dispensed fake Rs 2,000 notes with 'Children Bank of India' written on them instead of Reserve Bank of India. The notes, which were replete with errors, had serial number of '000000'.

Other glaring deviations from the original note include PK logo instead of RBI seal and missing Rupee symbol. On the leaf markings on the lower left side of the original notes, the text was replaced by the Churan Label. Even the Ashok emblem was replaced by 'CHURAN LABEL'. The RBI governor's signature was also missing and the text above it said, 'I promise to pay the bearer two thousands coupons' (SIC).
