Two men were arrested for alleged cross-border smuggling of marijuana worth nearly Rs 8 crore at the international airport here, the customs department said on Friday.
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.
The accused allegedly concealed the contraband inside a pink trolley bag, they said.
“When subjected to diagnostic tests, the substance prima facie appeared to be ganja/marijuana,” the customs said in a post on X.
The duo have been arrested and the contraband, worth Rs 7.77 crore, was seized, it added.
