A team of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Sunday recovered over 22 kg of heroin from a car at Lakhanpur and arrested three persons in this connection. The drug haul is worth Rs 100 crore in the international market.

The NCB team has arrested three Kashmiri men and seized a vehicle in which the consignment was hidden.

The team produced the three accused in the court of the Kathua tehsildar on Monday which sent them to six-day NCB remand.
