An inter-state drug trafficking network was busted here today with the arrest of two persons and recovery of charas worth Rs one lakh from them, police said.
The two, identified as Bablu and Jivan Singh, were arrested when they were going to deliver the contraband to a supplier in the city, police said, adding, they had smuggled it from Himachal Pradesh.
The banned substance seized from the duo weighs 2 kg and is worth approximately Rs one lakh, they said.
