MALDA, Jan. 8: Acting on a tip off, Malda police recovered fake Indian currencies, foreign currencies and 450 gram of brown sugar made in Pakistan from Jaharatala village, close to the Kestopur border outpost, along the India-Bangladesh border, under the English Bazaar police station area last night. Police had initially detained three persons, including the two sons of the main accused Insan Ali, who fled from the house at the time of raid. Later they were released.About 500 villagers have sent a petition to the Malda SP. They feel that Insan has been deliberately framed by the IC, Mr P Pradhan of English Bazaar police station. The villagers feel that Insan is innocent. Police detained 14-year-old Wasim Akram and Salim Malik, twin brothers and arrested Majnu Sheikh, a relative of Insan Ali. After interrogating these three, including the brothers, police have got some important clue for further investigation, the Malda SP, Mr Satyajit Bandyopadhayay, told reporters today. Police are looking for Insan. Police seized 15 Indian fake hundred rupees notes, 10 five thousand rupees notes of Peru and a thousand rupee note of Pakistan from the house of Insan. The packet of brown sugar found in the house was made in Pakistan, police said. The border village of Kestopur has always been free from infiltrators and smugglers. The district intelligence branch is always in touch with the Border Security Force (BSF), following the reports of border crime. The BSF has stepped up vigilance since last year, after a group of criminals stole ammunitions from the Kestopur border outpost.
