They were nabbed while they were trying to prey on one Raj Kumar, Meenu Choudhury, deputy commissioner of police (northwest), said.

Kumar had approached the police that a man was luring him to exchange Rs 1 lakh in Indian currency with American dollars worth Rs 2.50 lakh.

“They were arrested from Shakurpur while striking a deal with the complainant. A bundle of papers shown as dollars was recovered from them," Choudhury said.
