New Delhi: The seizure of narcotics like cocaine and heroin suggests that Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) is becoming a transit point for drug smuggling, Union Minister Hansraj Gangaram Ahir said today.
As many as eleven persons, including ten foreigners, have been arrested so far this year for their alleged involvement in the smuggling, he said.
Over six kg of cocaine, 7.2 kg hashish and 300 gms heroin have been seized from the airport this year, the Minister said in a written reply in Lok Sabha.
"Seizure of drugs by the enforcement agencies as IGI airport suggests that it is becoming a transit point of drug smuggling," Mr Ahir said.
