The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested a person here and seized 1 kg of heroin valued at around Rs 1 crore in the international market from his possession, an official said Thursday.
Acting on a tip off, agency sleuths intercepted the man near Bombay Hospital Square Wednesday night and seized the drug, NCB's Indore unit Zonal Director B R Meena said.
He was identified as one Jahoor Khan, a resident of Ashta town in Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh, the officer said.
The 50-year-old had come to Indore to hand over the drug consignment, valued at about Rs 1 crore in the global market, to a person in the city, Meena said.
He said Khan had been caught in the past in drug trafficking cases in several states.
Further investigation is underway to know about his contacts and also source of the seized narcotic substance, the NCB officer said.
