Two alleged drug peddlers, including a Dutch national, have been arrested and 1,200 stamps of LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) -- a banned drug popular in high-profile party circuits -- worth Rs eight crore have been recovered from them, police said today.
The duo, Pedro Maria Tobar Garcia -- a Netherland national and Sunny Khanna -- a resident of Ghaziabad, were arrested on Monday from near Anand Vihar area of east Delhi on specific input, a senior police official said.
