According to the BSF, the drones were sent to forensic department for further investigation. It is being suspected that the drones were sent from the Pakistan side for smuggling of heroin. It is yet to be ascertained whether any consignments were dropped in the area or not, sources said.

Last month, two Pakistani drones were also recovered from the villages of Amritsar and Tarn Taran. The BSF jawans posted along the international border intercepted movement of the drones and conducted search operations. Those two recovered drones were also China-made quadcopter, DJI Mavic 3.
