Ludhiana, September 05: Acting on a tip-off, the customs staff posted at Attari railway station, Amritsar, seized fake Indian currency amounting to Rs 10 lakhs from a lady passenger Pakeeja Khatun, coming from Pakistan in Samjhauta Express.

According to a press release issued by A.K Mehra, Commissioner of Customs, the woman was having Indian passport and had gone to Pakistan on a short visit. The fake currency consisting of five hundred rupees notes was concealed in cavities made in rubber chappals.
