The packets were hidden in agricultural fields, they added.
"BSF troops on duty in the area of responsibility of the New Gazniwala border outpost in Abohar sector saw freshly dug soil ahead of the border security fence. Accordingly, a special search operation was launched.
"The BSF party seized nine packets (about 4.6 kgs) of a contraband, suspected to be heroin, concealed in the agricultural fields ahead of the border security fence," said a BSF official.
The official said an enhanced vigil helped the BSF thwart an attempt to smuggle the contraband into India.
