The accused were identified as Komal and her daughter Kukki, both residents of Deha Colony in Ambala City, and Sewak, who hails from Una in Himachal Pradesh and was driving the Morinda-registered Honda City that the trio was riding.

Randhawa said following a tip-off, the car was stopped at a check post on the highway on Saturday and on frisking the women, a commercial quantity of 260 gm heroin each was recovered, carrying an international market value of ₹2.6 crore.

“They were coming from Delhi to supply the drugs locally. Sewak was taking ₹5,000 for each assignment and the documents suggest that the vehicle was purchased by Komal recently. She is already facing a drug case from May 2021. We are investigating the details of their supplier and other facts,” the SP told.

The trio was produced before a court and sent to police remand, he added.
