Chandigarh. The Border Security Force (BSF) once again foiled Pakistan’s attempt to send drugs and weapons through drones. Last night, a drone had entered the border from Pakistan, which returned after dropping the weapon. BSF has recovered four China-made pistols, 8 magazines and a packet of 47 bullets on the spot. It is worth mentioning here that the process of dropping weapons and drugs through drones on the border has been going on since last December and many times BSF and Punjab Police personnel have failed to infiltrate the drones.
A BSF spokesperson said that on the intervening night of January 17 and 18, troops heard the sound of a suspected drone coming from Pakistan in the upper Takla frontier village area of Gurdaspur district.
