Two men have been arrested for allegedly possessing 10 kilograms of heroin worth more than
Rs 40 crore in international market, police said today.
Dhanraj Parjapat (38) and Wasim Khan (27) were held from Shalimar Bagh in north-west Delhi on June 25, they said.
Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell), said the two were suspected members of an international narcotic drug cartel active in several places, including the national capital.
He said members of this cartel are based in Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, Manipur, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
The officer said the members collect raw material mostly from hilly areas around the international border of Manipur and Myanmar, and process the same into pure form of heroin.
On June 25, it was learnt that Parjapat and Khan would come near Max Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, to supply a huge consignment of drugs, Yadav said.
A trap was laid and the duo was nabbed, he said.
Five kilograms of fine quality heroin was seized from the possession of the accused and another five kilograms of the contraband was found in a secret cavity of the duo's car, police said.
The arrested duo had been supplying heroin for the last four to five years, they added.
