Jalandhar : In one of the biggest seizures of its kind in Punjab, the counter intelligence wing of the Punjab police seized nearly 18 kg of synthetic intoxicant Metaphetamine, worth nearly Rs.90 crore in the international market.
Police officials said that three people, two from Ludhiana and one from Delhi, were arrested with the drugs consignment.
The police also recovered a Mitsubishi Pajero SUV and a Honda City car from their possession. A revolver was also seized, police officials told reporters here.
“The drug is known as Ice and Speed in circles where it is consumed. It is even more expensive than heroin drug,” the police official said.
The intoxicant, believed by the police to be prepared in Ludhiana, 55 km from here, was being brought for delivery at various places in Punjab.
Police officials added that further investigations were in progress to know the network of those selling intoxicants to the youth.
Punjab is a major transit and delivery point for drugs and intoxicants.
