Demonetisation: Torn banned 500,1000 notes found in Kolkata
According to reports, locals found few packets, filled with torn notes, and called in the police.
Police, however, recovered the currency and have started counting to know the exact amount of those notes.
"As all notes have been mutilated, it would take time to know the exact amount of the scrapped notes," a police officer told IBNS.
The Centre on Nov 8 announced banning of old Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes.
