    Two suspected members of an international drug cartel, including a Nigerian, have been arrested in New Delhi with six kg heroin worth Rs. 24 crore, the police said today.


    Acting on a tip-off, Pannalal alias Vinod, and Emma, a native of Nigeria, were arrested from Paschim Vihar area around 9 pm on Thursday. Four kg of heroin was recovered from Ms Emma, while two kg of it was recovered from Mr Pannalal, said Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, deputy commissioner of police (special cell).
