Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], Sep 11 (ANI): The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) seized a consignment containing two kilograms of Heroin worth Rs. 10 crores from a residential area in Srinagar.

DRI officials raided the residential area during the wee hours of September 09 and recovered two packets of Heroin. The smuggled goods were hidden behind a rice sack in the kitchen of a house here.

The DRI has launched a search operation to nab the kingpin of the smuggling gang and conducted searches in villages located adjacent to the Line of Control (LoC).
