BSF Recovers Three Drones in Punjab Border Operations as Police Seize 1.5 kg Heroin

Counter-drone technology paired with BSF intelligence underpins the latest interdictions.

Overview

  • The BSF said it neutralised three Pakistani drones and recovered DJI Mavic 4 Pro, Mavic 3 Classic and Mavic 3 Pro quadcopters in operations across Tarn Taran, Ferozepur and Amritsar.
  • Recoveries linked to the drone intrusions included one heroin packet weighing 543 grams near Dal village and another weighing 1.173 kg near Sankatra, totaling over 1.7 kg per the BSF.
  • Officials said at least one drone recovered near Roranwala Kalan was likely brought down by anti-drone measures deployed along the border.
  • In a separate Bathinda action, police arrested Manpreet Singh and Sandeep Singh at the Jeeda toll plaza and recovered 1.5 kg of heroin from their vehicle, with inquiries underway to identify suppliers.
  • Media tallies differ on aggregates, with one outlet reporting four drones or over 2 kg, and a separate PTI report citing 6.638 kg of heroin near Daoke and a pistol recovery near Gandu Kilcha in distinct searches.
