New Delhi, Jan 23 : The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on Saturday arrested a Delhi resident and a South African national with over three kg of heroin, valued at Rs 3 crore in the international market.
On the basis of specific intelligence, DRI officers apprehended Hranglawta from Mizoram with three kg of high quality heroin at Jaipur. The accused was disembarking from a private bus arriving from New Delhi when he was apprehended by the police on Thursday.
“The contraband was cleverly concealed in the midst of various items, such as the inside of a ladies purse, the hollow pipe of a steering component, the backside of a cycle seat, etc. The heroin was recovered from eight different parcels in his luggage,” a senior DRI official said.
Hranglawta, who resides in Uttam Nagar, had allegedly gone to Jaipur for sending these parcels to various destinations across the world through post offices and courier agencies.
Later, based on information acquired from Hranglawta, a
South African national named Joseph Nyathi Ndlovo was apprehended from New Delhi.
“Joseph is an active member of the criminal syndicate and alleged supplier of the drug. We have recovered incriminating documents and items corroborating the concealment and transport of narcotics at Joseph’s residential premises,” the official said.
Both the accused were placed under arrest on Saturday and remanded to judicial custody in Jaipur.
