The accused passengers were intercepted after they arrived at Terminal-3 of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport from Hanoi, Vietnam, on Tuesday, they said.
The customs officers recovered nine polythene pouches, containing a green-coloured narcotic substance suspected to be cannabis, weighing 7.7 kg.
