Two Nigerians, wanted on charges of allegedly siphoning off Rs 70 lakh from the account of a man working in Japan, were arrested in Delhi and brought here today, police said.
Three laptops, one with more than five lakh addresses, some SIM cards and 30 million US Dollars were seized from their room in a Delhi lodge, they said.
Police said the cyber cell took up investigation on a complaint from the man that the amount had been illegally siphoned off from his State Bank of India account.
Investigations revealed that Liransome and Ronaldo Chakkudi had withdrawn the money and transferred it to their account in Delhi, following which a special police team left for the national capital, they said.
Enlisting the help of their Delhi counterparts, the team nabbed the two from a lodge and brought them here.
