The Border Security Force (BSF) has foiled a cross-border smuggling attempt by recovering a drone along with a consignment of heroin near the Indo-Pak border.
According to official information, the seizure was made by troops of the 181 Battalion BSF deployed at the Rajatal Border Outpost (BOP) during a search operation in the area. The operation was launched following specific inputs and heightened surveillance in the border belt.
During the search, BSF personnel recovered a DJI Mavic 4 Pro drone and a packet containing suspected heroin. The contraband, weighing approximately 984 grams, was also seized. Officials said the drone is suspected to have been used by cross-border smugglers to drop the narcotics consignment on the Indian side of the border.
No arrests have been made so far, and the identity of the accused remains unknown.
On the complaint of Ram Chandra, officiating Company Commander of ‘A’ Company, 181 Battalion BSF, a case has been registered at Gharinda police station under Sections 21-C, 61, and 85 of the NDPS Act, along with Sections 25, 26, and 29 of the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024.
