The team arrested the suspect, Rawez Khan, a resident of Nowshera, who was travelling as a driver of a passenger bus en route from Peshawar to Multan.<br \/>\nDuring the search, FIA recovered 800 counterfeit currency notes of Rs 5,000 denomination, amounting to a total of Rs 4 million, which the accused had cleverly concealed within his clothing to avoid detection.<br \/>\nInitial investigation revealed that the arrested suspect had been involved in smuggling fake currency for several months. He reportedly collected the counterfeit notes from a rickshaw driver based in Peshawar and delivered them to an accomplice in Multan. For every Rs 100,000 of fake currency transported, the suspect received a commission of Rs 2,000. Officials said the accused had previously delivered counterfeit currency to Multan as part of the same network.<br \/>\nThe FIA Commercial Banking Circle has expanded the scope of investigation, tightening the noose around the gang responsible for producing and distributing fake currency.<br \/>\nRaids are under way to arrest the remaining members of the network.The official for FIA said that all available resources are being utilised to dismantle the counterfeit currency network completely. \u2014 DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) foiled an attempt to smuggle Rs 4 million worth of counterfeit Pakistani currency and arrested a suspect during an intelligence-based operation.
