Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh) [India], July 19 (ANI): In a major haul, the Andhra Pradesh police caught a gang of seven members, who tried to exchange demonetised currency worth one crore in Vijayawada.

"This amount was found in demonetised currency with a Chennai-based financier Jayachandran from Tiruvottiyur, who failed to change Rs 5 crore worth currency in the designated time by the government. Later, he approached few members who assured to exchange Rs 3 crore and eventually got cheated and received fake currency," he added.
