The quadcopter was downed on December 25, 2022 near the Rajatal border post in Punjab's Amritsar district.
A drone that was shot down by the Border Security Force along the India-Pakistan international border in Punjab last year had 'footprints' and was flown in China and Pakistan, a BSF spokesperson said on Wednesday quoting a forensic analysis report.
The quadcopter was downed on December 25, 2022 near the Rajatal border post in Punjab's Amritsar district.
A forensic analysis of the drone found that it flew in Fengxian district in Shanghai, China on 11.06.2022 and later it was flown from 24.09.2022 to 25.12.2022 for 28 times "within" Khanewal district of Punjab in Pakistan, the spokesperson said.
An FIR on the illegal activity of the drone and its shooting on the Indian side was filed by the Border Security Force (BSF) with the Amritsar district police last year, he said. The BSF, that is tasked to guard the India-Pakistan border, has set up a forensic analysis laboratory for drones at a camp in the national capital.
