A 38-year-old man from Thane, Danish Tahir Khan, allegedly enlisted his former tuition teacher, Rukhsana M, 55, in a fake currency racket. The pair were arrested near Metro Cinema while distributing counterfeit Indian Currency Notes (FICN), with police seizing Rs 10.64 lakh in Rs 500 denomination notes. According to authorities, Khan approached Rukhsana after gaining access to the counterfeit notes and sought her involvement. The fake notes, though high quality, had visible flaws such as wider white margins and missing Gandhi holograms. Investigators are examining the origin of the counterfeit currency and whether the duo was part of a broader network. A relative of one of the suspects owns a shoe godown where he works occasionally.
