New Delhi: Two suspected members of a drug cartel were arrested and three kilograms of heroin worth more than Rs 12 crore was seized from them, police said today.

Licences were issued to certain farmers in Bareilly and Badaun for cultivating opium but many others indulged in its illegal cultivation since there is huge profit involved, they said.
