In a joint operation, the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Punjab Police recovered a suspected Pakistani drone and three kilogrammes of heroin from a field near the India-Pakistan border in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district on Monday, said officials as reported by news agency PTI. A BSF official said the troops conducted the search operation late on Sunday night after hearing the buzzing sound of the drone near Kalash village in the district. Officials also said they suspect that the unmanned aerial vehicle entered Indian territory from Pakistan.
In an official statement, the BSF said the troops tried to intercept the drone as per the protocol. They said they found the drone (hexacopter) and three kilogrammes of heroin wrapped with yellow tape from the field near Khemkaran and Kalash village.
The BSF officials said, as quoted by PTI, "Another Pakistani drone recovered by the joint efforts of BSF and Punjab Police."
Meanwhile, in another such incident that took place on July 8, the Border Security Force (BSF) intercepted a Pakistani drone near the India-Pakistan border from Punjab’s Tarn Taran district after it violated the Indian airspace, news agency ANI reported.
