New Delhi : The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has seized 10 kg of pure white heroin valued at Rs.100 million in the international market and arrested two people, including a teacher with the Punjab government, officials said Wednesday.

NCB sleuths arrested Ravinder Pal Singh and his accomplice Vikram Pal Singh near GT Karnal road in northwest Delhi late Tuesday while they were allegedly smuggling banned narcotics into the city.

"Ravinder has revealed during interrogation that he was a physical trainer with a government school and also used to give training in various jails in Punjab. But the details of the other accomplice are still to be verified," a senior NCB official told IANS.

According to NCB, both are from Gurdaspur in Punjab and were arrested after their vehicle was intercepted following a tip-off.

"We are trying to ascertain their links and customers in the national capital," he added.x
