Prisoner Uses Vocational Skill To Print Fake Currency

The life in prison is always in the hands of the jailers and custodians. 

They work towards transforming the mindsets of the prisoners with various vocational works and also education, teaching morals for mental wellbeing. 

But sometimes, a small criminal emerges as a bigger criminal once coming out from jail.

Here is the story of a 35-year-old man from Madhya Pradesh who studied the course of printing techniques as a part of vocational training. 

The intention of the custodians could be to make him a responsible citizen running a printing business.

But after coming out of prison, he used what was taught in the prison to counterfeit currency notes.

His name is Bhupendra Singh Dhakat and he was caught by the police with fake 200 rupee notes along with ink bottles, paper, and a color printer. 

He mastered the technique of printing crisp currency notes. 

He confessed that he already circulated many fake Rs 200 notes in the market over a few months and also said that he was first exposed to the knowledge of printing only in the recent imprisonment. 

Police say that Dhakar has been in and out of jail over several crimes for many years with more than 11 criminal cases against him.
