The Border Security Force (BSF) has seized over 5 kg of narcotics reportedly dropped by a drone near the International Border in Amritsar sector in the wee hours of Friday.

BSF personnel deployed in the area heard the buzzing sound of a drone and something being dropped in the fields near Rai village, a BSF officer said. During a search of the area, a big packet wrapped in yellow plastic was found in the fields adjoining the village. It contained five smaller packets, suspected to be heroin, weighing 5.26 kg, he added.
