Mumbai: The Customs and Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), in a joint operation, seized 191 kgs of heroin worth Rs 1000 crore from Navi Mumbai’s Nhava Sheva Port on Saturday night.

The peddlers smuggled the drug from Afghanistan via Iran. Two people have been arrested.

“Transported inside pipes, drugs were brought through Afghanistan. Court has sent the two accused to 14 days police custody,” Directorate of Revenue Intelligence was quoted by news agency ANI.

Two custom house agents through whom the import was documented, have also been arrested, according to The Times of India. The smugglers had hidden the drug in plastic pipes and painted them so that it looks like bamboo and said those were Ayurvedic medicines.
