Around 130 kg heroin was seized from a container in Navi Mumbai by the Delhi Police after arresting two men, including an Afghan national, officials said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Tifal Nau Khez (35) a native of Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh and Ahmad Shah Alokozai (37) of Kandahar in Afghanistan, they said.
The accused used to import heroin soaked in jute bags. Around 260 bags containing 130 kg heroin were seized from the container at a Navi Mumbai Customs Bonded Warehouse, police said.
A few days ago, seven people, including four Afghan nationals, were arrested and 200 kg of heroin were seized from them.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Manishi Chandra said, "On the instance of Ahmad Shah, who was arrested earlier, a search was conducted at the customs bonded area of Mumbai where 130 kg of soaked and dried Afghan heroin were seized from the container."
