Karaj Singh, Malkeet Singh, and Jaswinder Singh were arrested outside a Suvidha centre in Pataka market on Chamrang road before they could deliver the heroin. The police said a total of Rs 1549,000 were seized from them, and out of that Rs 1200,000 were in the new high-value notes. They also said the contraband was smuggled into India from Pakistan.
