Punjab police Saturday claimed to have busted an international drug trafficking racket with the arrest of four Nigerian youths here.
According to district police chief Jatinder Singh Aulakh, the four - Alexandar, Paul, Alex, Okaio Sabio - were arrested in Sector 70 with 500 grams of heroin worth Rs.50 lakh (Rs.5 million) in the international market.
'Police got a tip off from a source that some foreign students are involved in the drug trafficking business in the region. Following this, we kept the four students under surveillance and arrested them today (Saturday),' Aulakh said.
'They had come to India on student visas and were staying here in a rented accommodation. Their interrogation is on and it is yet to be established whether they were actually studying here or not,' he said.
