A day after the government discontinued Rs.500 and 1000 notes in a shock announcement to curb black money, sacks full of burnt notes were found in Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh.

The burnt Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes were reportedly brought in sacks and then dumped by workers of a company on Parsa Kheda road at CB Ganj in Bareilly, sources said.

Police officials said the notes appeared to have been cut, damaged and then burnt.


The police has since taken over the remains of the currency notes and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) officials have been informed of the incident.

The burnt Rs. 500 and 1,000 notes were reportedly brought in sacks in Bareilly.

"We are examining the burnt notes to check for their authenticity," said Senior Superintendent of Bareilly, Joginder Singh.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced last evening the move to scrap the current Rs.500 and Rs. 1,000 notes

A waste picker here today came across a bag full of Rs 1,000 notes totalling upto Rs 52,000, two day after the demonetisation of the currency of these denominations.

The elderly woman ragpicker, who chanced upon the cash in a plastic bag, however, immediately alerted her supervisor who in-turn informed the police of what she found.

Police said the incident took place in one of the by-lanes of Law College Road here this morning.

"Shanta Ovhal, who is working with the civic body, was segregating the waste this morning in one of the by-lanes of Law College Road, where she found a plastic bag," an officer attached to Deccan-Gymkhana police station said.

"To segregate the waste, she opened the bag and was shocked as she saw currency notes in denominations of Rs 1,000 along with some waste in the bag," he said.


The woman then informed about it to her supervisor."Later, they approached the police and submitted the bag, full of demonetised currency notes," the officer said.

"We are investigating who had left the bag in the waste and also probing the genuineness of the recovered notes," he added.

On Tuesday evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced that high denomination notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 will no longer be legal tender, in a bid to fight against black money and create a "corruption-free" India.

Countries will be looking at this to see how Modi is received.

The threat of having millions of unclaimed income wasted overnight is an efficient step in legalizing an informal economy.
