Officials said after the incident, a search operation was conducted in the surrounding fields by the Border Security Force, police and intelligence agencies with the help of villagers in which no suspicious object was found. Police sources said due to the jammer installed recently to stop the drones from across the border, the drone fell inside the Indian territory about 700m from the international border at around 11.30 pm last night. The patrol party of BSF saw sensor lights flashing in a field. When the jawans came to the field, the drone was found there.
