The duo identified as Avinash and Rocky were taken into custody by Customs officials after they were found carrying the drug in their baggage during a check-in when they arrived to board a Malaysian airline flight to Kuala Lumpur, late Friday night.

A senior Customs official said they have sent the seized substance for examination to the forensic lab to determine the type of the drug, which is estimated to be worth Rs 3 crore in the international market.
