Amritsar (Punjab) [India], July 13 (ANI): In significant search operations during the last 24 hours, the BSF with Punjab Police recovered Pistol parts and a heroin packet along the Punjab border in two different incidents, as per a release by PRO BSF.
On July 12, acting on information of BSF intelligence wing about presence of a suspected packet in village- Dal of Tarn Taran district, BSF troops in collaboration with Punjab Police conducted an extensive search operation resulting in the recovery of pistol parts and a magazine wrapped in yellow adhesive tape with copper wire loop and 03 illuminating sticks attached to it.
In another incident last evening, on specific information, a joint search operation culminated in the recovery of 01 packet of heroin (Gross Weight- 575 Grams) from a farming field adjacent to the village- Kilche of district Ferozepur. The narcotics were wrapped in yellow adhesive tape alongwith a metal ring.
BSF and Punjab Police, with their joint efforts and reliable inputs, once again thwarted the nefarious attempt of Pak-based smugglers trying to pump drugs and arms from across the border in Punjab.
In a successful joint operation, the Border Security Force (BSF) and Punjab Police apprehended a smuggler along with a pistol and magazine near Miyawali Chowk in Khemkaran area of Tarn Taran district late Friday night, according to a BSF statement.
The accused has been identified as a resident of Miyawali village and is currently in the custody of the Police Station Khemkaran. Authorities have launched a detailed investigation to uncover his suspected links with illegal cross-border activities and determine the motive behind possessing the firearm.
In a separate intelligence-driven operation earlier this week, the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) Punjab has successfully stopped a major terror plot by Harwinder Rinda, a Pakistan-based Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) operative supported by Pakistan’s ISI. (ANI)
