Border Security Force (BSF) personnel have seized around 169 kilogram of Heroin from the Indo- Pak international border here.
"In a recent operation the BSF recovered two packets of heroin containing 1.3 kg heroin, one pistol, a magazine, 6 round ammunitions, two Pakistani mobile phones and two SIMs from Pakistan, near the border village Kahangarh," informed MF Farooqui, the BSF Deputy Inspector General of Amritsar sector.
"The packets were lying in between concertina coil placed in water channel near the border flood light line. Two of the packets were found in the shape of tube as if these were to be smuggled through cavity in train running between India and Pakistan," said Farooqui.
"The suspicion of smuggling the narcotics from the train raised since the place of previous occurrences was in between the railway track going to Pakistan and Integrated Check Post (ICP). The smugglers had wrapped heroin in 8 feet and 4.5 feet long tubular packets wrapped with yellow adhesive tape," he added.
