However, investigation is also underway whether it was used for movie shooting and then taken to distribute in the public market.
It is also noteworthy that so many fake notes were seized when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Gujarat as part of the inauguration of the National Games. 1000 and 500 notes were unexpectedly banned by the first NDA on November 8, 2016 to prevent black money and to catch fake notes.
