During the night of Thursday and Friday, the Border Security Force (BSF) recovered a Pakistani drone along the International Border near Rai village in Amritsar.
BSF took to their Twitter handle and wrote “Depth deployed troops of @BSF_Punjab heard the sound of #Pakistani drone & dropping by it. On searching 1 big packet containing 5.260 kg heroin has been recovered near Village Rai, District- #Amritsar.”
The team was joined by the police in the search operation, which resulted in the recovery of one large packet, suspected to be contraband, wrapped in yellow-colored adhesive tape from a farming field on the outskirts of Amritsar’s Rear Kakkar village. A green nylon rope and a hook were also discovered attached to the packet.
In an statement the BSF Punjab Frontier said that “During the search, 1 big packet, suspected to be contraband, wrapped in a yellow-coloured adhesive tape along with 1 green colour nylon rope and hook attached to the packet was recovered from the farming field on the outskirts of Rear Kakkar. On the opening of the packet, 5 packets of heroin with a gross weight of 5.260 kgs was found.”
When the large packet was opened, the BSF discovered five packets of heroin weighing 5.26 kilograms.
“Another nefarious attempt of Pakistan to smuggle contraband item foiled due to timely joint efforts of BSF and Punjab Police in Amritsar Sector,” the BSF said in an official statement.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Border Security Force (BSF) recovered a Pakistani drone along the International Border in the Amritsar sector. BSF troops responded immediately after hearing a mild buzzing sound from a suspected drone near Bhaini Rajputana village in Amritsar district.
