According to police sources, the house of an Urdu school teacher was searched by the NIA team at Chhatarpura village. The teacher in question has close links with Nazre Saddam, who was arrested for his involvement in fake currency notes in September 2024 in the East Champaran district, close to the Indo-Nepal border. The residential premises of two suspects–Mohammad Nehal and Mohammad Waris—were searched by the raiding team. During the investigation, it came to light that Nazre used to supply counterfeit Indian currency to those operating in Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir. He also enjoyed close relationships with fake currency dealers of the Anantnag area of Jammu and Kashmir, who had connections with terrorist outfits as well. Mohammad Sarfaraz is one among them. Nazre’s links with a Nepal-based dealer Santosh Sahni also came to the fore. Sources in NIA said that some important documents related to money transactions and electronic devices were seized during Wednesday’s operation. The NIA officials engaged in the operation, however, refused to disclose about the seizures. Later, the NIA team quizzed Mohammad Nisiuzzama, father of Nazre Saddam, at his residence in Bhagalpur.
