Investigative journalist Zulkarnain Saer alleged on Wednesday that counterfeit Bangladeshi currency worth nearly 2 trillion taka is entering the country through various channels with assistance from a neighboring nation's intelligence services. The fake notes use identical paper to legitimate Bangladesh currency and replicate security features with such precision that verification machines cannot detect them, Saer wrote in a Facebook post. He claimed the notes originated from the neighboring country's official printing facility under special arrangements.
Saer stated that individuals connected to Indian intelligence agencies distribute these notes at reduced prices to local counterfeit rings to destabilize Bangladesh's economy and finance subversive operations. The Border Guard Bangladesh and multiple security agencies recognize the problem and are working to stop the illegal activity, he added. Saer emphasized the need to alert citizens about the counterfeit currency threat.
