Officials stated that the Border Security Force (BSF) discovered a packet of heroin in Amritsar, Punjab, on Sunday. The recovery occurred in a harvested crop field near Rajatal village in the Amritsar district.

As per an official statement, the BSF’s intelligence wing received intelligence on April 28 regarding a suspected packet’s presence in the border region of Amritsar district. BSF personnel promptly mobilized to the location and conducted a thorough search operation in the suspected area. During the search, they uncovered one packet of suspected heroin weighing 440 grams. The suspected heroin was enveloped in yellow adhesive tape, with a small LED light affixed to it, the statement elaborated.
