The duo were travelling on a bike when a patrolling police party signalled them to stop. Singh said on seeing the police party, the accused took a U-turn to flee but their bike slipped. The duo then tried to escape with a bag. They were chased and overpowered by the police team led by Sub-Inspector Ajaypal Singh. During their search in presence of DSP (Narcotics) Tejinderpal Singh, the police seized two packets containing 3 kg heroin and 1 kg ICE from their possession. A case under Sections 21/22/25/29-61-85 of the NDPS Act in this connection has been registered and further investigations were in progress to establish their links to expose the entire nexus, SSP said.
