A
Pakistani drone carrying drugs was shot down by the

India's Punjab state, an official of the force said on Monday.
He added that 3.2kg of heroin was recovered from the drone.
Talking to the media, a BSF spokesman said that the paramilitary force's personnel noticed the
unmanned aerial vehicle at around 21:45 IST (16:15 GMT) on Sunday.
“They intercepted it by opening fire. And after it was shot down, they recovered a black drone [quadcopter, DJI Matrice, 300 RTK] along with three packets of heroin from a field in Amritsar's Ratta Khurd village,” the spokesman stated.
Early in the morning of 3 June, 5.5kg of narcotics allegedly dropped by a drone near Rai Village in Amritsar were also seized by the BSF and the Punjab Police.
A BSF official told the media that on the night of 2/3 June, troops heard the
