Cops also impounded their bike and a white Activa scooter which were being used for transporting the consignment.
The DGP said a preliminary investigation revealed that the arrested persons, Partap Singh and Ajaypal Singh, were in direct contact with a Pakistan-based smuggler from whom they received drugs via drones in the fenced area of Atalgarh and Rattan villages in Amritsar.
