The anti-narcotics cell (ANC) has arrested two persons from Dahisar in suburban Mumbai and recovered psychotropic drugs worth Rs 2.30 lakhs from them.
A college student is among those arrested, said the police.
Acting on a specific information, ANC arrested Samson Denson Rozario (30) and Rohan Raju Owal (26) from Kandarpada in Dahisar yesterday, the official said.
The anti-narcotics cell had information that they would be coming to Dahisar to distribute LSD dots to persons known to them, he said, adding, during the search 46 LSD dots worth Rs 2.30 lakhs were found.
Police have registered an offence under the NDPS Act.
"Samson, who works as a real estate agent, is the supplier of LSD, which he sources from Nepal border and gives it to Rohan who distributes it to the customers," Sunil Mane, senior police inspector of ANC Kandivali unit, said.
Samson has earlier served one-year jail term after he was arrested for possessing 1 kg of charas in Manali, Mane said.
He was in touch with some foreigners who distribute LSD dots in India through Nepal border.
During interrogation, the accused revealed that the consignment had reached them from US, via Nepal, the official said.
