Two persons were arrested at the international airport in Hyderabad after 10 kg of narcotic drug worth Rs. 3 crore was allegedly found in their possession.

The duo identified as Avinash and Rocky were taken into custody by Customs officials after they were found carrying the drug in their baggage during a check-in when they arrived to board a Malaysian airline flight to Kuala Lumpur, late on Friday night.

A senior Customs official said they have sent the seized substance for examination to the forensic lab to determine the type of the drug, which is estimated to be worth Rs. 3 crore in the international market.
