Couple held, heroin seized

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on Thursday arrested a 32-year-old man and wife at New Delhi railway station on charges of smuggling heroin of Afghanistan origin, suspected to having been smuggled in through Pakistan. The DRI sleuths recovered about 1 kg heroin from their possession.

The accused were identified as Rosy Samuel and her husband, Wajinder. During interrogation, they allegedly revealed that they had procured the consignment from Moga in Punjab to supply it to one of their clients in the Capital. The packets of heroin seized from them bore marks confirming that it had been smuggled in from Pakistan and that the stuff was from Afghanistan.

Seizures made in the past have also revealed that heroin in large consignments is being pushed into the country through the Indo-Pakistan border along Punjab.
