Amritsar, Apr 22 (PTI) BSF troops recovered five kilograms of heroin from a field near the India-Pakistan border in Punjab’s Amritsar district, an official said on Saturday.

The Border Security Force (BSF) said it seemed that the consignment was dropped by a “rogue drone”.

On the basis of specific information, the BSF troops launched a search operation on the outskirts of border village Daoke in the Amritsar sector, the official said in a statement.

During the search, they recovered five packets of a narcotic substance packed together as a single consignment (weighing five kilograms) from a farming field in Daoke, the statement said. PTI JMS CHS DIV DIV
