Punjab Police, in a joint operation with the Border Security Force (BSF), shot down a drone from Pakistan that was being used to smuggle drugs into the country, near the international border in Amritsar, officials said Sunday.
The hexacopter was carrying five kg of heroin and was shot down in Kakkar village, nearly two kms from the India-Pakiatan border, they said.
Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said, “The hybrid drone, estimated to be worth Rs 10 lakh, was assembled with parts manufactured in the US and China and equipped with hi-tech features including a long-lasting battery backup and infrared-based night vision camera and GPS”.
