The BSF and Punjab Police Special Task Force (STF) arrested two people and seized over 10 kg of heroin, which they had allegedly hidden in Ferozepur district near India-Pakistan border, officials said on Wednesday.
A search operation was carried out after the two accused told their interrogators that they had hidden the contraband drug in Border Out Post (BOP) Gatti Hayat area, a BSF official said.
Seven packets of heroin, weighing 10.5 kg, were dug out of a field between the international boundary and border security fence, he added. — PTI
