China-made drone seized near India-Pak border in Punjab

The Border Security Force (BSF) said it has seized a China-made drone near the India-Pakistan border in Punjab's Amritsar district along with a packet of 500 gm of heroin. Acting on a tip off, the BSF troops carried out an extensive search operation in the suspected area. The troops were successful in recovering one drone along with one packet of suspected heroin of 500 gm, the BSF Punjab Frontier said. The recovery took place in fields adjacent to Nestha village, nearly 300 km from Chandigarh. The recovered drone is a China-made DJI Mavic 3 Classic. A reliable input and prompt action of BSF troops once again successfully foiled an illicit attempt of narcotics smuggling through drone from across the border, the BSF said. Last year, the BSF handed over 12 Pakistani nationals, who had inadvertently crossed the International Border.
