The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested a Special Armed Force (SAF) jawan and seized 51 kgs of poppy husk from him, officials said on Wednesday.
The poppy husk was seized by the NCB team from a luxury car, which was sporting a sticker of the police department, from Gangrar Square at Chittorgarh-Jaipur highway in Rajasthan on Tuesday afternoon, NCB's Deputy Commissioner Pramod Singh said here.
The team arrested a Madhya Pradesh SAF jawan, Mahendra Singh Parihar, who was transporting the contraband, Singh said.
