The Border Security Force (BSF) shot down a drone coming from Pakistan, which was carrying heroin, in Punjab's Amritsar on Monday. The BSF recovered nine packets of heroin from the drone, thwarting a smuggling bid from across the border.
“Frontier #BSF troops foiled another smuggling attempt through Pak drone. Vigilant BSF troops fired at the drone coming from Pak & brought it down. Drone carrying 9 packets suspected to be #Heroin (10. 670Kgs) in a bag were also recovered,” said the BSF (Punjab Frontier) in a tweet.
Punjab shares a 553-km barbed-wire fenced international border with Pakistan which is under the vigil of nearly 135 BSF battalions. The drug network operates along the Afghanistan-Pakistan-India route.
