The accused identified as Shakir is a native of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh and was living in a colony near sector 9 since a month.

Illiterate Shakir told police that the notes were provided to him by a man in Gurgaon, who introduced himself as Rajesh Kumar from Bihar.

Rajesh allegedly convinced Shakir that it was not a tough job to exchange fake notes in metro cities like Gurgaon.
