Two narcotics smugglers were arrested along the Indo-Pak border in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district, police said today.
Navjot Singh and Swaran Singh were apprehended last night by Hiranagar police on a highway during routine checking, a police officer said.
The duo, who were coming from Jammu, tried to speed away but the police intercepted their motorcycle and overpowered them, he said.
During checking, a packet of narcotic substance, weighing 500 grams, was recovered with grey colour plastic tape on it, the officer said.
