A Nigerian man identified as Walter Chukwuebuka Lewis, has been arrested in India for allegedly scamming a man of Rs 20.10 lakhs online.

Chhattisgarh Police arrested the 34-year-old suspect from Chattarpur in south Delhi on Sunday, July 2, 2023 in New Delhi and brought him to Raipur.

Additional Superintendent of Police (Urban) Abhishek Maheshwari cheated Tarun Kumar Dewangan of Raipur.

The police seized 12 mobile phones, seven SIM cards and Rs 6,500 in cash from him.

A court sent him to prison.
