Telgi smiled—a sad, broken smile. "Shakeel, there are no more payments. There's only the fall."
The counterfeit notes were so convincing that even experts had difficulty distinguishing them from genuine notes. Telgi's gang used advanced printing technology and employed skilled artists to create the fake notes. The gang would often use genuine notes as templates, which they would then replicate with remarkable accuracy.
