Punjab: Border Security Force Finds Packet of Suspected Heroin in Amritsar

Officials stated that the Border Security Force (BSF) discovered a packet of heroin in Amritsar, Punjab, on Sunday. The recovery occurred in a harvested crop field near Rajatal village in the Amritsar district.

As per an official statement, the BSF’s intelligence wing received intelligence on April 28 regarding a suspected packet’s presence in the border region of Amritsar district. BSF personnel promptly mobilized to the location and conducted a thorough search operation in the suspected area. During the search, they uncovered one packet of suspected heroin weighing 440 grams. The suspected heroin was enveloped in yellow adhesive tape, with a small LED light affixed to it, the statement elaborated.

The statement continued to affirm that the vigilant input and prompt action of BSF personnel once again thwarted an attempt to smuggle narcotics from across the border. On April 26, BSF, in collaboration with the Punjab Police, retrieved a drone in the border region of Tarn Taran district.

As per an official BSF statement, “Following intelligence received on April 25, 2024, regarding the presence of a drone in Tarn Taran district’s border area, a joint search operation was conducted by BSF troops along with the Punjab Police in the suspected vicinity.”

Identified as a China-manufactured DJI Matrice 300 RTK, the recovered drone was found in a damaged state during the search operation around 10:15 PM in a farming field near Khemkaran village in Tarn Taran District.

The statement emphasized that through dependable intelligence and coordinated efforts between BSF and Punjab police, yet another unlawful drone was successfully retrieved from across the border.
