SURAT: A Pakistani national was arrested with 100 fake notes of now demonetized Rs 500 currency from Surat railway station on Wednesday morning. After arresting Burhauudin Sajjad Vora of Karachi, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) handed him over to Gujarat Reserve police Force (GRPF). He will be presented before a local court for remand on Thursday.Vora was caught during the routine checking near Surat railway station ticket window. He was found having 100 notes of now scrapped Rs 500 notes which on further examination turned out to be fake. Initially, Vora identified himself as resident of Vasai in Mumbai, but later confessed that he was from Karachi.Officials from GRPF said that Vora was in India on a visitor visa and was into textile business. He had visited India many times in the past. According to Vora, he had boarded Golden Temple Mail from Amritsar for Mumbai. However, when he found that his co-passenge’s behaviour was improper, he got down at Surat and went to get another ticket of another train for Mumbai when he was caught.An official of GRPF said, “All his papers are in order but we have found fake notes from him and so he has been arrested under Indian Penal Code (IPC) 489(B).”M N Vaghela, inspector, GRPF, said, “According to him he exchanged the money in Amritsar and he didn’t know that the currency was fake. He will be produced before court for remand for further investigation.”Sources in RPF said that Vora came to Delhi from Amritsar and boarded a plane for Surat and from Surat wanted to go to Mumbai so he went to railway station to buy a ticket.GRPF officials said that they are verifying Vora’s version.
