The members of this cartel were involved in receiving the supply of heroin smuggled from Myanmar and further supplied it to various parts of the country. “It took four months to develop this information and during this process, members of this cartel were identified,” the DCP said.
“Six kg of heroin, i.e., three kgs each from bags of both the accused was recovered. During the search of the car, another four kg of heroin was found hidden in a cavity created in the bottom of the backside seat of the car,” the official said.
