Police have arrested two persons, including a woman, for their alleged involvement in drug trafficking and seized 75 kgs of 'ganja' worth Rs 6 lakh.
The accused - Kanan Sarkar (34) and Rajeev Majumdar (27) - were arrested on May 24 from New Delhi Railway station, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Madhur Verma.
The Crime Branch received information about Sarkar procuring ganja from West Bengal and supplying it in Delhi.
