Mumbra Man Convicted in Fake Currency Case, Receives Time Served
Jasim Shaikh was found guilty of having fake money.
He got involved because another inmate, Isak Khan, asked him to.
While in prison for a different crime, Khan convinced Shaikh to get fake money.
After getting out of jail, Shaikh collected Rs82,000 in fake notes from Karnataka.
The court decided that since it was his first time and he was talked into it, he would only have to pay a fine and the time he already spent in jail.

Shaikh was sentenced to time served, approximately five years, and a Rs10,000 fine.
