Border Security Force (BSF) personnel detected the drone during the night between November 20 and 21. Additionally, they observed a noise resembling something being dropped on the ground in Mode village, as told by an official to PTI.
During a search, BSF troops recovered a packet wrapped in yellow tape containing 565 grams of heroin, reportedly and the Pakistani drone returned after dropping the packet.
