BSF Shoots At Three Drones On Indo-Pak Border, Recovers 10 Kg Heroin

The Border Security Force (BSF) brought down a drone and shot at two others, apparently being used to smuggle heroin, near the India-Pakistan border in Punjab, an official said on Tuesday.
About 10 kg of heroin, a pistol, a magazine, and eight rounds were recovered in the series of incidents.
In one case, BSF soldiers opened fire at miscreants who hurled a heroin packet across the border fence in the Fazilka district. A BSF spokesperson said the force also apprehended two persons.

In Amritsar’s Rajatal village, the movement of a Pakistani drone was detected at around 8:30 pm on Monday and the BSF personnel fired at it, the official. During the search of the area on Tuesday, the force recovered a black coloured drone (a DJI Matrice quadcopter). A packet of heroin weighing 2.6 kg, wrapped with yellow adhesive tape, was found inside a bag attached to the drone, the spokesperson said.
