BSF Seizes 3 Kilograms of Heroin at Border

In a significant operation, the Border Security Force (BSF) and Rajasthan police have seized 3 kilograms of heroin, valued at Rs 15 crore, believed to have been smuggled from Pakistan via drone. This operation occurred on the night of August 19-20, 2024, in fields near Raisinghnagar along the Indo-Pak International Border. Simultaneously, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) recovered 1.1 kilograms of heroin from the bank of the Padma river in Chapainawabganj, Bangladesh, although no arrests were made. Additionally, the BSF intercepted another drone-related smuggling attempt, seizing 500 grams of heroin from fields in Machhiwara, Ferozepur. The presence of improvised hooks with the heroin packets suggests a continued trend of drone usage for narcotics trafficking. Investigations are ongoing to apprehend the smugglers involved in these operations.
