Two men in their late 20s were arrested over a drugs racket with tentacles that spread as far as Spain and the United States.

A drugs consignment seized by Indira Gandhi International Airport authorities on April 19 that had given police an inkling about a Gurgaon-based gang that was involved in smuggling drugs.

Policemen on Friday nabbed a Nigerian, Henry North, from Vyapar Kendra at Sushant Lok and Bihar-resident Raghvendra Jha from IFFCO Chowk. They were trying to courier 780gm of smack to Spain. Three cell phones were found on them. The men are educated and have their smuggling network spread over 18 countries, including the US, Spain and the UK.

Henry and Jha met as strangers at a Metro station where they became friendly.
