Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

The Crime Branch on March 13 arrested the kingpin of the Indo-Nepal international fake currency racket, identified as Nagina Prasad, from Bettiah of West Champaran District, according to The Times of India. FICN with a face value of INR 55,000 has been recovered from the accused. Police also arrested one Vipin Pandey who acted as the courier between Nepal-based Rajan Shah and Nagina Prasad. Shah is suspected to be an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) operative who also handles parallel operations from Bangladesh. Nagina Prasad told us he was running a gas agency but had to abandon it last year. He had earlier come in contact with Shah through one J K Khan. At that point, he was playing second fiddle. After Khan's death about one-and-a-half years ago, Pandey took over the operations, coordinating from Nepal, an officer said.
