Officials said the drone is suspected to have escaped to the Pakistani side
The Border Security Force (BSF) on February 9 claimed to have foiled a narcotics and weapon smuggling bid by a drone along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab.
A senior official of the force said troops fired at the drone after they heard a “buzzing sound of a suspected flying object coming from the Pakistani side to the Indian side” around 1 a.m. in the Panjgrain area of Gurdaspur sector.
“During a search in the area of Ghaggar and Singhoke villages, two packets of yellow colour with suspected contraband have been recovered so far,” the senior officer said.
