The Narcotics Control Bureau has arrested three foreigners with heroin worth Rs 60 crore, officials said on Sunday.
While two women from Mozambique were nabbed after they landed at Indira Gandhi International Airport allegedly with 10 kg heroin, a man from Ivory Coast and living in Greater Noida was arrested under the NDPS Act on the inputs provided by the women, said NCB Delhi Zone Director K P S Malhotra.
"The agency has busted a supply chain of heroin trafficking which was routed from Afghanistan to India via Mozambique and South Africa," he said.
"14.5 kg of high grade heroin worth an estimated Rs 60 crore has been seized."
