Palampur, November 9

The police today arrested a Nigerian, who is a member of a cyber criminals' gang based in Kishangarh, New Delhi.

This is the second arrest in this case. Earlier, a resident of Mizoram was arrested from New Delhi last week, who had confessed to having links with Nigerian cyber criminals.

On the basis of information provided by him, a police party was sent to Delhi, which nabbed the Nigerian and recovered cellphones and laptops from his possession.

The police said the accused would convince people on one pretext or the other and extract their bank and ATM card details. He had also duped a resident of Palampur of Rs 47 lakh.

The accused was produced in a local court today, which sent him to police custody.

A manhunt has been launched to locate his accomplices operating from Nigeria and New Delhi .
