A quadcopter drone manufactured in China was found in Amritsar’s Bharopal village on Sunday during a joint search operation carried out by the Border Security Force (BSF) and Punjab police.
This came after the forces received a specific tip-off regarding the presence of a drone on the outskirts of Bharopal village.
“On 12th November 2023, during morning hours, on specific information regarding the presence of a drone, a Joint search Operation was launched by BSF and Punjab Police on the outskirts of Village – Bharopal, District – Amritsar,” an official statement from BSF read.
During the joint search operation, at about 12:40 pm, a drone was recovered from the farming field adjacent to Bharopal village.
The release from the BSF identifies the drone as a Quadcopter manufactured in China with DJI Mavic 3 Classic model.
“Yet another attempt of smugglers to smuggle narcotics via drone was foiled by BSF and Punjab Police,” said BSF which is responsible for safeguarding the India-Pakistan border running along Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
On Friday, the border force recovered another China-made Pakistani quadcopter drone near Punjab’s Tarn Taran district.
PAKISTAN RELEASES INDIAN FISHERMEN
Eighty Indian fishermen who were recently released from a jail in Pakistan have been handed over to BSF authorities at the Attari-Wagah border here, officials said on Saturday. The Pakistan government on Thursday released 80 Indian fishermen from the Malir jail in Karachi.
Punjab police protocol officer Arun Mahal said all the prisoners crossed over to India on Friday night through the land transit route of the Attari-Wagah border through the ‘Emergency Travel Certificate’ issued by the Indian High Commission based at Islamabad. After their repatriation, the medical examination of the fishermen was conducted by a team of Indian doctors, said Mahal, who was posted at the Joint Check post (JCP) of the Attari-Wagah border.
