Hyderabad: Four persons, including two Nigerians, were arrested from Delhi for allegedly cheating a city-based person of Rs 3.99 lakh under the pretext of supplying him a cancer medicine, the police said today.
Nasoki Amos Williams and Ibrahim Iduh (both Nigerians), along with Paras Grover and Karan Kumar Jha were arrested on August 2.
