New Delhi, Mar 29 (UNI) The Delhi Police have busted an inter-state module of heroin smuggling with the arrest of two persons and seized from them heroin worth Rs 12 crore in the international market.

Chattar Singh and Mohammed Isrefil were arrested with 12 kg of the contraband on March 24 near Dhaula Kuan while they were waiting to supply the drugs to the prospective buyer.

Isrefil had smuggled in the contraband from West Bengal and delivered it to Singh in Jaipur from where both had reached a disused petrol pump near Dhaula Kuan.
