The Anti Narcotics Cell (ANC) of city police nabbed Abdul Hamid Abdul Sattar Pathan (36) and Iqbal Hussain Sayyad (39) on suspicion on Maulana Shaukat Ali road on Tuesday evening, said an official.

The ANC recovered 80 grams of mephedrone, a banned synthetic drug, from them, he said. Both were arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
