Two foreign nationals arrested in ₹20 lakh fake currency scam in Hyderabad; ₹10 lakh recovered
Hyderabad police arrested two foreign nationals, Toure EL Hadji Mahamane (49, from Mali with a Cameroon passport) and Tchouanyou Adolphe (62, from Cameroon), for defrauding a local man of ₹20 lakh. The accused convinced the victim they could multiply currency through a chemical process, using black paper and chemicals in a fake demonstration. After receiving ₹20 lakh, they packed it in a box and instructed the victim not to open it until they returned with a special chemical. When the victim opened the box, he found only white sheets and colored photocopy papers. Police recovered ₹10 lakh in cash, along with fake Indian and US currency notes, chemicals, and black paper. The first accused has a prior criminal record, including a 2025 case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and a 2022 cheating case in Gujarat.
