Jammu, Feb 14, KNT: Security forces foiled a cross-border narcotics smuggling attempt along the RS Pura sector of the Indo-Pak International Border, recovering more than four kilograms of heroin believed to have been dropped by a Pakistani drone.
Officials said the seizure was made during a coordinated operation carried out by the Border Security Force and Jammu & Kashmir Police. The contraband, estimated to be worth over ₹20 crore in the international market, had reportedly been dispatched in two separate consignments before being intercepted.
Officials added that the recovery highlights an increasing trend of drone-assisted smuggling attempts from across the border. Security agencies have intensified surveillance and ground operations in vulnerable stretches to counter the growing use of unmanned aerial vehicles for narcotics trafficking.
Authorities added that investigations are underway to identify local contacts and dismantle the network facilitating cross-border drug movement. Further technical and ground intelligence inputs are being examined to trace the origin and intended recipients of the consignment. [KNT]
