flag India warns of surge in Pakistan-linked counterfeit cash ahead of 2026 elections.

flag Indian intelligence agencies have warned of a surge in high-quality counterfeit currency linked to the Pakistan-backed Dawood Syndicate ahead of the 2026 general elections. flag The syndicate is increasing production using sophisticated printing methods and smuggling the fake notes into India via Bangladesh and Nepal, with Malda in West Bengal serving as a key entry point. flag Sea routes from Bangladesh, aided by relaxed border policies, are being used to transport large consignments, possibly including arms. flag The counterfeit currency, nearly indistinguishable from genuine notes, is targeted for distribution in states holding elections between March and May 2026. flag Officials are urging heightened vigilance at border areas to prevent infiltration amid election security distractions.
