BSF seizes around 3.950 kg heroin, arms & ammunition from Punjab’s Ferozepur sector
On Wednesday the Border Security Force (BSF) has recovered two bottles of contraband suspected to be heroin along with a Chinese-made pistol, two magazines, and 26 live rounds, the force officials said.
According to the officials, while carrying out a search operation and area domination in the Ferozepur sector, the BSF troops recovered contraband suspected to be heroin weighing around 3.950 kg along with arms and ammunition.
In view of the Punjab Assembly elections scheduled on February 20, there has been an increase in the smuggling of contraband, arms, and ammunition while attempts were also made for infiltration along the Punjab border.
Earlier, on February 2, the BSF troopers shot an intruder from Pakistan who crossed the International Border and entered into the Indian territory near the border outpost in the Ferozepur sector.
On January 20, the BSF had foiled an attempt of smuggling contraband in a flying object coming from Pakistan in Punjab’s Amritsar sector and seized heroin weighing over 7 kg.
Similarly, on January 28, the BSF had foiled arms and narcotics smuggling from Pakistan in the Gurdaspur sector in Punjab and recovered arms, ammunition, and narcotics suspected to be heroin in large quantities, in which a jawan was injured during the crossfire by the miscreants.
