Two Africans were arrested by Bangladesh police from a residential district in the capital Dhaka on Friday for currency forgery.
A sub-inspector Mahbub of Pallabi police station in Mirpur residential district told Xinhua Saturday the Africans were arrested early on Friday after they were informed by fast food shop owner where they ate something and paid the price with a fake note of 100 U.S. dollars.
The arrested Africans are William Obeng, 35, of Ghana and Tankam Christtan, 36 of Cameroon.
After the arrest police submitted them to a Dhaka court seeking a week police remand, but the court allowed police three-day remand for interrogation.
Mahbub said the Africans are still in the court custody and the interrogation will start after they are handed over to the police.
