The police said the arrested bought the narcotics from three others in Himachal Pradesh through bitcoins and sell them here.
The trio had ordered the consignment through the dark web, and sent the drugs in boxes with stickers of an e- commerce company, they said.
The techies used to sell the drugs to their colleagues by saying their efficiency would increase if they took the narcotics, they added.
