Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Jasmeet Singh said, &nbsp;the police received specific inputs that two men had collected a big consignment of heroin from Jharkhand and they would come to Delhi-Meerut Expressway near ISBT Sarai Kale Khan to deliver the drug.</p>

The police team then laid a trap and two persons carrying backpacks were nabbed. Six kilograms of heroin — three kg each — were recovered from their bags and four kg heroin was recovered from their car,&rdquo; Singh said.</p>
<p>
&nbsp;&ldquo;Interrogation revealed that they were members of an international drug cartel. They have been supplying drugs in Delhi-NCR and parts of UP for the past five years,&rdquo; he added.</p>
<p>
The accused has been identified as Dinesh Singh (57) and Nazir alias Nazim (28), both residents of Ghazipur district in Uttar Pradesh.</p>
<p>
Both have further revealed that their supplier has links in Myanmar and Manipur. Most of the heroin is brought to Manipur from Myanmar and sent to adjoining States of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh and later transported to other parts of the country, said the DCP.</p>
