Producing the suspects before the media in Medak on Monday, Superintendent of Police Rohini Priyadarshini said the three were involved in three attention diversion and theft cases in Chegunta and Ramayampet in September. The SP said the three were showing the Iranian currency offering to exchange it with Indian currency. Diverting the attention of shop owners in Chegunta and Ramayampet, they stole Rs 1.15 lakh from three shops.

Following a complaint, the Ramayampet Police nabbed them on Sunday. The SP said the suspects had checked into a hotel in Hyderabad a month ago, adding that efforts were on to get more information on them from the embassy.
