New Delhi, Sep 1 (IANS) Delhi Police Friday seized 1.3 kg of heroin worth Rs.13 million in south Delhi and arrested one person as part of the continuing crackdown on organised drug trafficking in the capital.

Abu Tahir was arrested from Greater Kailash-II, a posh colony in south Delhi. Police said he is a resident of Jharkhand and had come to the capital to meet his contact to sell the consignment.

Officials said that though Tahir had confessed of being from Jharkhand, they suspect that he is from Bangladesh.

"He is part of an organised drug trade that is working in the capital. We suspect that he is a Bangladeshi national," said a senior official. Police said a few more arrests could be possible on the basis of the information provided by Tahir.

"We had received prior information about the deal and we had laid a trap to nab Tahir," said the official.

Officials added that the 1.3 kg of heroin was kept in small packets.

Recently, police had recovered mandrax worth Rs.1 billion in the capital and the consignment was being smuggled to South Africa. In another recent haul in Delhi, police had seized ephedrine worth Rs.2 billion.
