The Crime Branch of Delhi Police has arrested two men with heroin worth Rs 30 lakh to dismantle a drug racket, officials said on Sunday.
According to police, 282 gm of heroin was seized during the operation, in which Firoz (22) and his associate Sompal (26) were arrested after separate raids in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
A tip-off was received on November 4 about alleged heroin supplier Firoz, who was expected in Shastri Park to deliver a consignment, a senior police officer said.
“Based on the information, a raiding team arrested Firoz from the spot, and seized his motorcycle and 262 gm of heroin found in his possession,” the officer said.
