BSF seizes 2 Chinese-made drones and over 1 kg of heroin in multiple operations along Punjab border

The Border Security Force (BSF) carried out a series of operations that resulted in the seizure of two Chinese-made drones and over 1 kilogram of heroin in Punjab's border belt. The first incident occurred in Dhanoe Kalan village, where a broken drone was found in proximity to a packet of heroin weighing approximately 550 grams. This operation highlights the increasing use of drones for illegal activities, particularly in regions close to the international border.

A second drone was recovered from Uttar Dhariwal village, further emphasizing the prevalence of drone technology in drug trafficking. In a separate operation, the BSF discovered another packet of heroin weighing around 510 grams in Roranwala Khurd village. Both heroin packets were wrapped in yellow adhesive tape, a method often employed by traffickers to obscure the contents and evade detection by law enforcement.

The drones involved in these incidents were identified as DJI Mavic 3 Classics, which are equipped with advanced features, making them suitable for smuggling operations. The use of such drones allows traffickers to transport narcotics and potentially other contraband items across the border, posing significant challenges for security agencies. The BSF noted that these drones could facilitate the delivery of not only drugs but also weapons into Indian territory.

In addition to these findings, another drone was retrieved from the Tarn Taran border area following intelligence reports. A joint search operation conducted by the BSF and Punjab Police led to the recovery of a damaged DJI Mavic 3 Classic from a harvested paddy field adjacent to Wan village at approximately 6:30 PM.
