Four Nigerians including a woman were arrested by the Hyderabad police in India on Saturday over internet fraud.
The police said they recovered a car, money and mobile phones from them.
The accused, Peter Austin (29), Eboh Felix (26), Steffi Ebohon (24) and Uzaonicha Daniel Iwenwanne (26), reportedly contacted a student named Mohd Wasiuddin, and told him he had won some money.
The police said the gang managed to convince the unsuspecting victim to deposit money for registration, customs clearance, processing fees and other expenses.
"Believing the gang members, Wasiuddin deposited about Rs. 35 lakh in different bank accounts operated from Gujarat, Rajasthan and Mumbai, only to realise later that it was fraud," the police in charge said.
The police arrested the four after posing as another victim and tracing their phone call data record and email conversations.
