BSF seizes four drones, over 1 kg heroin

In a series of coordinated and intelligence-driven operations, the Border Security Force (BSF) on Sunday recovered four drones and over 1 kg of heroin from different locations along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab.

In the first set of incidents, BSF troops recovered a DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone that had been concealed in an agricultural field near border village Khemkaran in Tarn Taran district. Acting on another specific intelligence input, troops also recovered a packet of heroin weighing 1.120 kg from the border area village of Mode in Amritsar.

In separate operations conducted on the same day, BSF troops successfully neutralised and seized three more drones — two DJI Mavic 3 Classic models and one DJI Mavic 4 Pro. These drones were recovered in three different incidents from areas near Roranwala Khurd, Dhanoe Khurd and from within the premises of Integrated Check Post (ICP), Attari.

BSF officials said the operations were executed on the basis of precise intelligence inputs and strengthened by the force’s robust technical surveillance systems which has once again thwarted attempts of illicit aerial intrusion and smuggling from across the border.
