BSF foils drone-aided arms smuggling along Indo-Pak border in Amritsar

The Border Security Force (BSF) on Monday recovered two pistols and other items near the India-Pakistan border in Amritsar following suspected drone activity in the area.

According to officials, BSF personnel detected drone movement near the border early on Monday morning. A search operation was launched, leading to the recovery of two pistols, four magazines, and a motorcycle from fields near Nesta village.

The pistols were wrapped in yellow adhesive tape with a metal ring attached, indicating a possible drone drop.

A BSF spokesperson said the troops thwarted another attempt by Pakistan-based syndicates to smuggle arms into Indian territory. Investigations are underway to trace the intended recipients and the network behind the smuggling operation.
