Police inspector S Nikam from the special task force, GRP, told Hindustan Times, "On September 24, an absconding gang member, Shirin, met a commuter named Ashraf Ali Khan at Byculla station. She showed him notes of 20 dollars and told him that she will sell them for a cheaper rate. She also told him that she had 1,400 more such notes, which she found from the car of her dead employee in the United States. Khan agreed to buy a total of 120 notes from her but told Shirin that he first wanted to verify if the notes were real. Shirin accompanied Khan to a bank where the notes were verified to be genuine. She then called Khan to Ghatkopar and introduced him to Yusuf and Aman. They asked Khan to get cash worth Rs 4 lakh for 120 dollars. When Khan gave the cash, Shirin handed him three bundles of notes wrapped in newspapers and left."

When Khan later opened the packet, he found out that only two notes on the top and bottom were real while all others were fake.
