Two Burmese nationals were caught with faked currency notes in an
Indo-Burma border end of last month but later released by the local
police, according to intelligence sources here.

Mr. Maung Maung and Mr. Tin Maung who are residents of Tahan in Kalaymyo
township of Sagaing Division in Burma were arrested by Assam Rifles
Battalion No. 19 in Chhungte Bawk, which is about four miles far from
Champhai in Mizoram State.

The duo were arrested with Indian faked 500-currency notes worth seven
and half lakhs Rupees on 28th July. The two were handed over to local
police the next day.

However, the Burmese were released by the police on the same day.
Contrary to the army, one of the Champhai police officer claimed that
the seized currency notes were, in fact, not faked currency and that is
why the duo were released.
