Delhi Police busts transnational lottery scam; two Nigerians among six held

NEW DELHI: A well-oiled transnational racket that duped Indians through fake online lotteries and prize schemes has been busted by Delhi Police’s Crime Branch, leading to the arrest of six individuals, including two Nigerian nationals illegally residing in India. The syndicate, which had been operating in the capital and NCR region for several years, was unearthed following a targeted surveillance operation based on specific intelligence inputs received earlier this month.
