The Nigerians — Nnaemaka Agbo (35), Kingsley (32) were arrested on July 15 and their accomplice identified as Waris Khan (22) was arrested on July 14 after a case was lodged at the Sadar Bazar police station on the complaint of Bhupender Singh, he added.

The complainant had alleged that he received an SMS on June 26 that he had won USD 5 lakh in a lottery after which he deposited Rs 95,000, demanded as various charges, in different bank accounts in the first week of July, the DCP said.

Singh said he developed suspicion when he was asked to deposit Rs 2,86,000 more following which he approached the police, Narwal said.

A police team was formed and the accused were tracked through surveillance and phone number tracking. Waris was arrested from Jamia Nagar and his interrogation led to the arrest of Agbo and Kingsley who lived in Khanpur, he said.
