The Border Security Force troops shot down two Pakistani drones along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab foiling the drug smuggling bids in Amritsar and Tarn Taran districts, an official spokesperson Tuesday said. Two hexacopters were carrying around 10kg heroin, which were recovered by the troops.
In the first incident in Amritsar, a women squad of the BSF shot down a hexacopter, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with six rotors, which was entering India from Pakistan with 3.11 kg of narcotics. The troops noticed the drone was entering the Indian territory near Chaharpur village, around 40 km north of Amritsar city, on Monday night, according to officials.
