Counterfeit Currency Features Anupam Kher's Face

Police in Gujarat have seized fake Rs 500 currency notes worth Rs 1.60 crore, featuring Bollywood actor Anupam Kher's face instead of Mahatma Gandhi. The counterfeit notes also had 'Resole Bank of India' printed on them and were linked to a scam inspired by the web series 'Farzi'. The operation came to light after bullion trader Mehul Thakkar was duped by two unidentified men who used the fake notes to purchase 2,100 grams of gold. Anupam Kher reacted humorously to the incident on social media, expressing disbelief. Authorities in Surat had previously busted a fake currency manufacturing unit disguised as an online garment store, arresting four individuals. Investigations are ongoing to track down the perpetrators using CCTV footage.
