Nasik, Nov 30: Three currency note press (CNP) employees, including a store department officer, were suspended in connection with the multi-crore fake stamp paper scam, sources said here today.
Three employees in CNP's store department were suspended yesterday after 10-ream water-mark paper, being used to print currency notes, was found missing few years ago, CNP sources
said, adding the search is on to find the missing paper.
With this the total number of suspensions in both Indian security press and CNP have gone to seven in the scam.
The incident came to light on January 13, 2002 during the tenure of then CNP general manager V K Jain, who brought it to the notice of Mazdoor Sangh and new general manger Arun Ingale, who in turn informed the union finance ministry.
A three-member committee, headed by P K Sharma, joint secretary of Devas press, probed the matter and submitted its report on October 18 to the finance ministry, sources said.
Ingale after returning from New Delhi yesterday served suspension orders to the employees yesterday.
