The Special Task Force (STF) of Haryana Police arrested a Nigerian national from Gurgaon on Monday and allegedly recovered 3.2 kilograms of heroin from him, an official spokesperson said.
The accused has been identified as Taraour Ahmed, he said.
"Currently residing in Delhi, he was arrested following a tip off by a team of STF Hisar from Sikandarpur Metro Station area in Gurgaon," the police department spokesperson said in a release here.
He said the police team spotted Ahmed standing with a scooter before the metro station's entrance in DLF-2 area. After seeing the team, the accused suddenly started his scooter but was nabbed immediately.
