BSF Seizes 3 Drones, Heroin Near Amritsar Border In Punjab

The Border Security Force (BSF) Punjab recovered three drones and a substantial heroin consignment near the Amritsar border on Saturday, officials reported.

According to the BSF, the seizure included two DJI Mavic 3 Classic drones, one China-made DJI Air 3S drone, and a package containing 540 grams of heroin. The contraband was wrapped in yellow adhesive tape with a copper wire loop.

In a post on X, the BSF stated that the drones, suspected of being used for smuggling narcotics across the border, were neutralized during the operation using advanced technical countermeasures.

“All the drones are believed to have been neutralized using technical countermeasures during the operations,” the post read.

Earlier this month, the BSF recovered two drones from separate locations near the Amritsar border. The drones were found in the Dhanoe Khurd and Rattankund areas of Amritsar, officials said. The BSF added that both drones are presumed to have fallen due to the activation of technical countermeasures deployed along the border.
