A police official, who is privy to the matter, stated that the person who dumped the drugs in the shop is absconding abroad, and the seized drug cost around Rs 200 crore in the international market.
The seizure came after a police team received secret information based on which a raid was conducted in the area.
Police officials reported that the consignment was intercepted by a suspected drug cartel operating in the national capital.
The cocaine, sourced from abroad, was intended for distribution in Delhi and other regions across the country.
