Jail Inmate Learns Printing As Vocational Skill But Uses It To Print Fake Notes After Release
The saying "once a liar, always a liar" also applies to criminals; in other words, once someone becomes a criminal, they tend to remain one. This was highlighted recently when a man from Madhya Pradesh learned printing while in jail but upon release, he used his skill for a twisted benefit.
Vocational training to equip jail inmates with skills
Bhupendra Singh Dhakat is a seasoned criminal, and has been in and out of jail in 11 criminal cases, including murder.
During his most recent incarceration, Dhakat participated in a vocational training program aimed at equipping inmates with skills to facilitate their reintegration into society upon release.?
Under this program, conducted by Vidisha Jail superintendent Priyadarshan Shrivastava, inmates receive training in offset printing and screen printing to enable them to support themselves post-release.
However, instead of utilising his newly acquired expertise for lawful means, Dhakat opted to engage in an illicit enterprise for quick financial gain, as stated by Shrivastava.?
Used skill to circulate fake currency
The resurgence of Bhupendra Singh Dhakat into criminal activities came to light following his arrest by the police on Saturday.?
Authorities seized 95 counterfeit notes, each valued at Rs 200, during the operation, as reported by an official.?
Additionally, a color printer, six ink bottles, and the necessary paper for manufacturing counterfeit notes were discovered at his residence, according to Sironj Sub Divisional Officer of Police Umesh Tiwari speaking to PTI.
Dhakat has admitted to producing and circulating fake currency in the district for several months.?
Despite being banned from the areas of Vidisha, Rajgarh, Raisen, Bhopal, and Ashok Nagar districts for a year starting from October 2003, he managed to remain in the region and continue his counterfeit operation, revealed a police source.
This incident highlights the need for comprehensive strategies to address the root causes of criminal behavior and prevent individuals from reverting to illegal activities upon release.
