Five detained after Customs seizes huge amount of Indian rupees in container at Chittagong port

Customs intelligence has detained five people over the smuggling of huge amount of Indian rupees into Bangladesh through the Chittagong port. Customs officials, however, are not certain whether the rupees, amounting to nearly 27.2 million, are genuine or counterfeit currencies. Bangladesh had no machine to identify counterfeit foreign currencies, Customs Intelligence and Investigation’s Director General Mainul Khan told reporters on Monday. “Most of the Indian currencies seized in Bangladesh were counterfeit and that might be the case with these as well,” he said. The rupees were found in four cartons in a container on Sunday night. The container was brought through Clearing and Forwarding (C&F) agent Flash Trade International, Khan said. DG Khan said the container was loaded onto Marshall Island’s flag carrier MV Prosper at the Port of Jebel Ali in Dubai on Sep 12. The ship reached Chittagong port through Colombo on Sep 16, he said. The rupees had been placed in 16 boxes in the four cartons. Khan said home appliances were used to camouflage the rupees and termed the incident ‘a part of transnational crime’. http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2015/09/21/five-detained-after-customs-seizes-huge-amount-of-indian-rupees-in-container-at-chittagong-port
