The BSF recovered a drone carrying three packets of suspected heroin from the border area of Ferozepur district on Saturday, the BSF said in a press release.
On April 20, the BSF intelligence wing received information regarding the presence of a drone along with a consignment in the border area of district Ferozepur. Responding swiftly, BSF troops carried out an extensive search operation in the suspected area. Taking to X BSF Punjab Frontier posted, "At about 5:20 pm, the search led to the successful recovery of one drone along with 3 packets of suspected heroin weighing around 2.710 kg. The packets were kept in a blue-coloured bag. A small torch and an illuminating green-coloured small ball were also found attached to the drone. The recovery took place in a farming field adjacent to Jangir Singh ki Dhani village in Ferozepur District." The recovered drone has been identified as a China-made DJI Matrix 300 RTK.
