BSF seizes 2.3 kg heroin in Punjab

On Tuesday, the Border Security Force (BSF) foiled another smuggler’s plot by seizing 2.35 kg of heroin dropped by a Pakistani drone near the International Border in Punjab’s Tarn Taran region.

The BSF said, “On the intervening night of July 17-18, its troops deployed near the border fence heard the dropping of something by drone.”

The BSF said that during a search operation at about 6.45 a.m. on Tuesday, its personnel discovered a suspicious parcel ahead of the border fence in a farming field near Kalsian Khurd village in Tarn Taran region.

During the extensive search, BSF personnel discovered one packet of narcotics thought to be heroin weighing 2.35 kg and wrapped in yellow adhesive tape in a farming field ahead of the border wall.

“Vigilant troops of BSF, once again, were able to foil nefarious design of smugglers,” said the BSF, which is mandated to guard the 3,323 km India-Pakistan border.
