According to officials, the Pakistani drone, which violated Indian airspace, was intercepted and shot down by alert BSF personnel in Amritsar.

The Border Security Force (BSF) personnel on Monday shot down a Pakistani drone carrying narcotics across the Attari-Wagah border. In the past week, several drones have been intercepted by the BSF, which had been carrying narcotics over the border into Punjab. The drone which was shot down at the Attari border was carrying approximately 3.2 kgs of heroin. According to officials, the Pakistani drone, which violated Indian airspace, was intercepted and shot down by alert BSF personnel in Amritsar.

"The gross weight of the recovered consignment of suspected narcotics is approximately 3.2 kg," the officials said in a statement.

Prior to this, last Thursday, the BSF recovered around 2.5 kilograms of suspected narcotics dropped by a Pakistan drone in the Fazilka district of Punjab during a joint operation with Punjab Police. In a statement, BSF mentioned that, on specific information, a Joint search operation was launched by BSF and Punjab Police and some houses were searched under Chakkhewa village of the district.

During the search, two suspects were taken into custody. Based on the revelation made by one of them, during interrogation, three packets of suspected heroin weighing around 2.5 kg were recovered from the house of the individual.

The consignment was probably dropped by a drone a few days back and further concealed inside the house.

Before this, the BSF shot down a Pakistani drone carrying narcotics along the India-Pakistan International Border near the Amritsar border, Force said on May 29. The Public Relations Officer, Punjab Frontier, BSF in a statement said that the gross weight of the recovered consignment of suspected narcotics is approximately 2.7 kg.
