According to police, a team of Crime Branch officials laid a trap on a tip off and apprehended Suresh Chand Yadav (47) and Sanjay Kumar (37) allegedly with 16 kg of Ketamine.

They have allegedly been indulging in smuggling and distribution of fine quality Ketamine, a psychotropic substance used in high profile rave parties in Delhi.

Ketamine is a prescribed intravenous drug used as anesthesia in human and veterinary medicine. It is, however, often exploited as recreational drug.
