Drone Drug Smuggling Thwarted Near Jammu International Border

JAMMU, May 20 — Jammu and Kashmir police successfully intercepted a cross-border narcotics smuggling attempt by recovering a substantial shipment of heroin near the International Border. The security operation unfolded in the Bishnah sector following an intensive week-long surveillance initiative.

Acting on precise intelligence inputs regarding aerial smuggling methods, law enforcement personnel had been monitoring potential drop zones across the border region to prevent the contraband from entering local distribution networks.

The discovery occurred in the Bahadurhan Panchayat area when a local resident noticed a highly suspicious package while working in his agricultural field. Recognizing the potential danger, the farmer immediately alerted local authorities.

Joint teams from the police and the Border Security Force quickly arrived to secure the premises, cordoning off the immediate vicinity to preserve the scene for specialized investigators.Official measurements indicate that the recovered packet contains between 1.5 and 2 kilograms of high-grade heroin.

Experts from the Forensic Science Laboratory were dispatched to the site to conduct a detailed scientific analysis of the contraband and gather physical evidence.

Authorities have initiated a wide-ranging investigation to map out the entire smuggling network, focusing on identifying both the local recipients and the cross-border handlers responsible for directing the drone flight.
