The Nagpur Police in Maharashtra reportedly foiled a web series-inspired kidnapping attempt by two persons allegedly posing as National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials, an official said on Saturday, reported the PTI.

According to the PTI, the suspects identified as Swapnil Dilip Maraskolhe (24) and Chetna (23) approached the victim woman on March 20 while she was on her way home on a two-wheeler. They allegedly showed a fake NIA notice and brandished a pistol, the Rana Pratap Nagar police station official said.
