Tarn Taran (National Times): In two significant operations today, the BSF troops recovered the upper body of a pistol, 04 magazines, and a drone with a large heroin packet along the Tarn Taran border.
a) In the early morning today, the BSF troops carried out a search operation, which culminated in the recovery of 01 packet containing the upper body of a pistol and 04 magazines wrapped in yellow adhesive tape with an iron ring and a torch attached to it. This recovery took place from a waterlogged paddy field adjacent to the village of Wan.
b) In another incident in the morning hours, acting on specific information, a joint search operation was conducted by the BSF and Punjab Police, which led to the recovery of 01 DJI Matrice 300 RTK drone carrying 01 large packet of heroin (Gross Weight- 3.700 Kgs) from a farming field adjacent to village- Shekhpura of district Tarn Taran. The narcotics packet, wrapped in yellow colour adhesive tape, was found attached to the drone with the help of a metal ring.
Reliable input and keen observation, followed by swift action of BSF troops, once again thwarted these nefarious attempts of Pak-based smugglers trying to pump drugs and arms in Punjab from across the border.
