It is learned that Savinder had visited Pakistan on multiple occasions in the past, as part of religious groups. However, police has failed to recover her passport, which is told to be in the custody of Pakistan high commission.

The police has recovered currency notes in denominations of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 from her, which she brought three months back.

The convict used to buy fake currency worth Rs 1 lakh for Rs 40,000 from her counterparts based in Pakistan. These notes were sold for to Yodha Singh for Rs 55,000, who in turn sold them for Rs 65,000.

These fake notes were put into circulation in adjoining areas, except Amritsar and neighbouring states.
