In an incident that could be called the first case of fraud involving new currency notes in Madhya Pradesh, four school children duped a milk parlour operator in Shajapur by purchasing products with photocopied note of Rs 2000 denomination on Thursday.
The kids were apparently on way to school with the bags when they stopped at the shop of one Gopalkrishna Yadav to make purchases at around 6am, Shajapur Kotwali police station in-charge Rajendra Verma said.
They bought milk and confectioneries worth Rs 200 and walked away with the change of Rs 1800 returned by Yadav. The shop owner, who gladly accepted the new Rs 2000 currency note, became suspicious in the afternoon and shared the details with his son. Both went to a bank branch, where the officials claimed it was a coloured photocopy of the original currency note. Yadav lodged a complaint with the Kotwali police.
