Over a month after she was arrested for allegedly depositing fake Indian currency in a bank, a 28-year-old model was granted bail by a court on Tuesday. The woman had allegedly deposited 75 notes of Rs 2,000 in a cash deposit machine of a bank in suburban Bandra, of which 42 notes were found to be fake.

The bank filed a complaint and she was arrested on April 19. Seeking bail, her lawyer pleaded that she was not aware that the notes were fake, as she had borrowed the money as a loan from Rahul Barod, co-accused in the case. The investigating officer told the court that the woman had apparently got the money from Barod for certain favours.
