The police seized the fake notes, and the printers, computers and other equipment used in the illegal activity, Additional SP Bindu Madhav Garikapati told The Hindu.
“Fake currency notes with a face value of more than ₹10.7 lakh have been seized at a private house at the village. Two printers, one computer, and one note cutter have also been seized. We have also seized 29 bundles of ₹200 denomination, four bundles of ₹100 denomination, and nine bundles of ₹500 denomination,” Mr. Madhav said.

He said an FIR was filed against the accused, and investigation was on to know if anybody else was involved in the activity.
