Fake banknotes were found in a sack lying at a rubbish dump at Charmatha-Godarpara in Bogura city. It happened on Sunday morning beside the Naogaon-Bogura regional highway. Police later seized a bundle of fake 1,000-taka notes from the scene as evidence.
Locals said a crowd gathered after a sack was spotted at the dump in the morning. Seeing money inside, many took the notes home thinking they were real. It later emerged that the notes were fake. They included 500 and 1,000 taka notes, with “Only for shooting” printed in small English letters on the back.
Locals claimed the sack held a large amount of fake money; some put it at nearly 10 million taka. The spread of the fake notes caused a stir in the area.
