The South-East district police arrested Mohammad Isha on Thursday, custodian of the Brinks India Private Limited for replenshing fake 2,000 rupee notes at the State Bank of India (SBI) ATM located in Tigri area of Delhi. The bank had fixed the responsibility on him when the SBI ATM dispensed fake currency notes.

"The bank zeroed in on him and his liability was fixed by the Bank. Investigations further revealed that he was the last person who had come to the ATM to fill cash.

Mohammad Isha is a resident of Sangam Vihar area and has graduated from Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh," said DCP (South-East), Romil Baaniya.

While demonetization may have been cause for concern, citizens now have a new reason to worry.

The incident took place on February 6 in South-East Delhi's Tigri area. Rohit, a call centre employee, was startled to get four notes which had "Children Bank of India," written on the them after withdrawing money from a SBI ATM in South-East Delhi.

The notes also had 'PK' written on them in place of the RBI stamp, the top left corner had 'Bharatiya Manoranjan Bank' written instead of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and "I promise to pay the barer 2,000 coupons'.

Rohit made a PCR call and informed the police. He also told about the fake notes to the security guard at the ATM. A Sub-Inspector who reached the location also withdrew money from the ATM and received the fake same note.

Following his complaint, a case under section 409 (Criminal breach of trust by public servant, or by banker, merchant or agent), 406 (punishment for criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered at Sangam Vihar police station.

During investigations, it was revealed that such notes are available at toy shops. The police also scanned the CCTV footage and identified the last person who had come to fill cash at the ATM.
