They had set up the units in Delhi, Rajasthan and Haryana. The extensive fake coin manufacturing business has already injected fake coins worth Rs 10 to 12 lakh into the economy.

Sweekar used a phone number that he had acquired from Thailand to evade the police arrest. Fake coins of Rs 5 and Rs 10 worth Rs 17390 have been recovered from him.

“In October, a racket involving counterfeit coins was busted and two racketeers, Gulshan and Sachin, were arrested. The kingpins were identified as brothers Sweekar and Upkaar…He (Sweekar) was in a Celerio car when he was caught.
