This is after a long time that a big hexacopter drone was seized near the border village. At present, smugglers were preferring small quadcopters for sneaking in contraband in smaller quantity.
The police said the forensic analysis of the hexacopter was underway to find out how many sorties it had made across the border fence. He said a probe was also on to identify persons who picked up drugs that might have been smuggled through the drone.
