According to BSF officials, the seizure followed the detection of a suspected drone movement in the border area early this morning. Acting swiftly, BSF jawans launched a search operation and recovered two pistols, four magazines and a motorcycle from fields near Nesta village.

The recovered pistols were found wrapped in yellow adhesive tape with a metal ring attached — a telltale sign of a drone drop. A BSF spokesperson said the alertness and timely action of jawans once again thwarted the nefarious attempts of Pakistan-based syndicates to smuggle arms into Indian territory. Further investigations are on to trace the recipients and the network behind the smuggling attempt.
