SBI ATM dispenses fake notes, culprits identified Last Updated : 22 Feb 2017 06:35:05 PM IST (ATM dispenses fake 2000 notes)
An SBI ATM here dispensed fake 2,000 rupee notes, and police said on Wednesday that they had identified the culprits.
The incident was reported in south Delhi where a State Bank of India ATM dispensed the fake notes on February 6, with "Children Bank of India" printed in place of Reserve Bank of India, according to the FIR accessed by media.
The notes also had numerous glaring discrepancies including the words "Churan lable", a "PK" logo and "000000" serial number.
It also read "Guaranteed by the Children's Government" printed in place of "Guaranteed by the Central Government".
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajiv Ranjan Singh told media that the vendor who supplied the cash to the ATM and the persons who inserted the fake notes had been identified.
The officer put the number of fake notes dispensed by the ATM at three.
Asked why no arrest had been made so far, Singh said: "The case is still a matter of investigation. The moment everything is done, arrests shall take place."
On Wednesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the fake currency.
"A Prime Minister who can't even print notes properly; how can he run the country? He has reduced the whole nation into a laughing stock," the Aam Aadmi Party leader tweeted.
Rohit, a customer care executive who got the notes, reported the matter to the police.
In his complaint, Rohit said he tried to withdraw Rs 8,000 at around 7.45 p.m. from the ATM at the T-Point at Tigri in Sangam Vihar but all the four 2,000 rupee notes turned out to be fake.
After informing the ATM guard posted there, he made an official complaint to the police which sent a sub-inspector to the ATM.
The sub-inspector withdrew another 2,000 rupee note from the ATM which too turned out to be similarly fake, after which the police registered an FIR.
A case of cheating and related offences has been filed against unknown persons under sections 489-b, 489-e and 420 of the Indian Penal Code, the police said.
Experts say it is possible for an ATM to dispense even a simple sheet of paper if its size is the same as the currency notes.
"Technically, yes. ATMs are not equipped to read the security features of notes. Only the size needs to be the same," K. Srinivas, Managing Director BTI Payments, an RBI-licensed firm that operates cash dispensers not owned and managed by banks.IANS For Latest Updates Please-
