Days after fake notes of Rs 2,000 were dispensed from a State Bank of India ATM in the national capital, an ATM in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur gave out a scanned copy of the high-denomination note, police said on Saturday.

The incident came to light when Puneet Gupta, a resident of Shahjahanpur, withdrew Rs. 10,000 from the ATM. Of the five Rs. 2,000 notes that were dispensed, one turned out to be a scanned copy of the new currency. 

Mr. Gupta, along with the people present in the ATM queue, complained to the bank, and accused officials of being involved in a "conspiracy". A huge ruckus followed soon after and the police had to be called in. The crowd wanted an inquiry into how the fake note reached inside the ATM. Mr. Gupta has also filed a complaint against SBI with the police.
