He claimed that BSF forces effectively downed it in accordance with the practise.
The BSF troops discovered a drone (quadcopter, DJI Matrice, 300 RTK) and a package containing three packets of suspected narcotics in a field in the hamlet during their initial search of the region. The package was linked to the drone with an iron ring. For easy smuggler identification, four luminous strips were also discovered affixed to the shipment, he added.
