Lately, a significant increase has been noted in the sneaking of Pakistani drones into Indian territory as compared. Earlier on June 5, a Pakistani drone was shot down by the BSF personnel across the Attari-Wagah border. The drone also carried 3.2 kg of heroin. Security forces on June 3 too recovered more than 5 kilograms of heroin, allegedly airdropped by a Pakistani drone, near the India-Pakistan border in Punjab’s Amritsar. Before that BSF last month intercepted and brought down a Pakistani drone that violated Indian airspace in Punjab’s Amritsar sector. The BSF troops have recovered the drone and tied narcotics.
