The Border Security Force (BSF) on Monday intercepted a Pakistani drone that crossed International Border (IB) in Punjab to drop off a consignment of drugs, a force spokesperson said on Tuesday. The flying object was downed around 9 pm on Monday in the Bhaini Rajputana village of Amritsar district, he said.
The BSF recovered the black-coloured quadcopter drone, with an attached payload of 2.1 kg of what is suspected to be heroin attached through an iron ring. A small torch which was left switched-on was found attached to the drone, presumably so that smugglers could detect the consignment and pick it up from the field on the Indian side. This is the fifth reported interception of a ‘rogue’ unmanned aerial vehicle along the Punjab border since 19 May. The BSF troops shot down two drones and intercepted a third along the front on Friday. A BSF spokesperson had said the third drone fell into Pakistani territory and could not be recovered.
