Punjab: The Border Security Force (BSF) in Punjab on Saturday claimed to have recovered a pistol and a packet of suspected heroin during separate operations conducted in the border area of the Ferozepur district, Punjab.
Official sources said that the recoveries were made based on intelligence inputs provided by the BSF intelligence wing, which thwarted a potential smuggling attempt from across the border, said the BSF.
According to the BSF, on the evening of February 28, 2025, at approximately 8:15 PM, BSF troops conducted a search operation in an agricultural field near Tindiwala village under Sadar police station. During the operation, they recovered a packet containing one Glock pistol.
The pistol was wrapped in white adhesive tape and had an iron hook attached to it. The recovery highlights the ongoing efforts of the BSF to curb illegal activities along the border.
In a follow-up operation at the same location, on March 1, 2025, at around 4:00 AM, vigilant BSF troops recovered one packet of suspected heroin with a gross weight of 590 grams. The narcotics were found near the Satluj river, adjacent to Tindiwala village. The packet was wrapped in yellow adhesive tape and had an iron hook attached, indicating a possible method of transportation via drones, said the BSF.
