The BSF said it apprehended Nadia resident Shariful Shah (32) with the cache as he was allegedly carrying the notes and was attempting to board a bus from the highway.
“The quality of the 48 Rs 2,000 notes, with the face value of Rs 96,000, is better than what was seized by the force sometime back along the India-Bangladesh International Border last week when 100 such notes were seized,” they said.
More details about the quality of notes will be ascertained by concerned agencies, the BSF said.
Shah has been handed over to Malda police for further interrogation about the source of fake notes of Rs 2,000.
