Police have recovered fake notes worth Tk 66,000 from two men whom they arrested in Chittagong's Oxygen area on Friday night. The counterfeit notes were recovered ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr, the festival in which transactions are usually high. Three men including the detained – Md Harun, 25 and Md Jalal, 24 – who came from Dhaka two days ago, were travelling from Choudhury Haat in Hathazari of the port city in a bus when they saw a check post in Harzat Bayezid Bostami (RA) Police Station area and decided to bolt out of the vehicle. ‘The two were bringing fake notes from Dhaka to sell them here,’ said Bayezid Police SI Jahed Hossain. ‘Rubel’, another man who was with them escaped. The fake notes were recovered from their pockets, said the SI, according to bdnews24.com.
