The Narcotics Control Bureau has arrested two persons and seized 12 kg of charas which was hidden inside tail lights of a car.
The person who was supposed to receive the contraband was also arrested subsequently, it said in a release Sunday.
An NCB team intercepted a car at Shamlaji in Aravalli district of Gujarat near Rajasthan border Saturday afternoon, the bureau said.
Upon search, 17 packets of charas weighing about 12 kg were recovered from cavities made in the car's tail lights, it said.
The arrested men were identified as Mustaq and Jahid, residents of Uri in Jammu and Kashmir.
The person who was to receive the drug was arrested within 24 hours from Rajkot with the help of Gujarat Police, the NCB said, without revealing his name.
The bureau had seized 40 kg of ganja in Ahmedabad and arrested three persons last Friday, it said.
