Uttarakhand’s Special Task Force (STF) on Friday arrested two alleged women drug smugglers and recovered 158 grams of smack worth Rs 50 lakh from them.
STF officials said the operation to arrest the two women – one supplier and other drug-peddler, was conducted by its Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) in Nehru Colony area in Dehradun.
They said that Rs 5.57 lakh in cash was also recovered from the duo. Both the women were allegedly involved in drug smuggling for a long time.
Officials said that the ANTF team arrested Preeti Suri (45), who lives in a rented house in Deepnagar of Nehru Colony, in front of Prasar Bharati Doordarshan Bhawan when she was going somewhere with 158 grams of illegal smack. During interrogation, she confessed that she had bought the smack from Rampur area in Uttar Pradesh.
