PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa excise, taxation and narcotics control department has arrested one person and recovered 0.2 million ‘black-coated’ US dollar notes from his possession, an official statement read.
Additional SHO excise police station Azlan said that the dollars were chemically treated and coloured in black, adding, “they [smugglers] do this to hide the currency’s identity so that if caught, nobody recognised them”.
He stated that a special chemical was used for restoring them. “These are mostly coloured in black. Once the amount reaches its destination, it is dipped into a chemical . . .
