India Seizes Drone Transporting Narcotics Near Pakistan Border
10:18 GMT 02.12.2022 (Updated: 18:03 GMT 08.12.2022) Punjab Police and border forces are carrying out joint operations to prevent the trespassing of drones from Pakistan in view of a recent spurt in aerial infiltration attempts.
Police in the Indian state of Punjab located a modern “hexacopter” drone carrying around five kilograms of heroin in a field near the fences at the Pakistan border.
The director general of police said in a statement that the “joint operation” in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district was carried out with the Border Security Force (BSF).
The incident is the latest in a series of illegal drones tracked down by Indian security agencies in border regions adjoining Pakistan, namely Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir. In most cases, the drones have been found to be carrying narcotics, arms and/or cash.
The BSF said on Friday that it has shot down 17 drones in areas along the Pakistan border this year, mostly in Jammu and Kashmir, and Punjab. The number of infiltration drones has increased but we have also taken measures, accordingly, including anti-drone systems, patrolling and incentives to our soldiers," BSF Director General Pankaj Singh said.
Earlier this week, the BSF and Punjab Police
foiled another infiltration attempt by a drone while it was crossing over into Punjab’s Amritsar from Pakistan. The drone was carrying 13 kilograms of heroin, police said.
