Pakistan Drone Carrying Drugs, Gun Shot Down In Punjab: BSF

The Border Security Force (BSF) on Wednesday claimed to have foiled a narcotics and weapon smuggling bid by a drone along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab.

A senior official of the force said troops fired at the drone after they heard a โ€œbuzzing sound of a suspected flying object coming from the Pakistani side to the Indian sideโ€ around 1 am in the Panjgrain area of Gurdaspur sector.

โ€œDuring search in the area of village Ghaggar and Singhoke, two packets of yellow colour with suspected contraband have been recovered so far,โ€ the senior officer said.

It is suspected that the drone dropped the packets, he added.

A pistol was also seen wrapped in the packet, and the consignment was found in the field about 2.7 km from the fence, the officer said. A search is on to find if the drone too was downed or if it escaped, he added.
