According to PI N K Rathod of the City Police Station, stamp vendor Bharatbhai Jivanlal Dave submitted 53 currency notes of the denomination of Rs 500 in the bank. But the cashier, who found the currency notes to be thicker than the normal ones, asked Dave to wait at the counter and sent the notes to the manager for forensic testing.

All the notes were subjected to `forensic tube' test available in the bank and were found to be fake as while genuine currency notes emitted radiations in the tube, no radiation was observed in case of the notes submitted by Dave, Rathod said.

Branch Manager Trilok Satyendra Shinde then informed the police and got Dave arrested. On interrogations, Dave claimed that he had received the notes from an industrialist, who was also picked up from his house.

According to the industrialist, he had got the money from one of his customers in Nadiad. A police party has been sent to arrest the Nadiad-based customer, Rathod said.
