In a recent breakthrough, the BSF successfully executed an intelligence-based operation along the international boundary with Pakistan, leading to the apprehension of four Indian smugglers. The operation, which unfolded on the evening of January 29, was the result of painstaking intelligence work spanning over a week, the BSF said in a statement.ย
The BSF teams, equipped with actionable intelligence, meticulously planned and executed the operation, including reconnaissance of the probable dropping spot. With thorough assessment and planning, operational teams of BSF laid an ambush in the suspected area on the evening of January 29. Around 11.30 p.m., the ambush party heard the suspected sound of a drone and observed three individuals moving towards a packet that was just dropped, reported IANS.
“Three smugglers were swiftly apprehended, and a pistol and magazine with four rounds were found on them”, it added. The leader confessed to multiple drone sorties planned in collusion with Pakistan-based smugglers. The arrest of smugglers led to the revelation of their other two associates who are absconding, and consistent efforts are being made to nab them as well, said the BSF, as per IANS.
As per information, the operation continued that had multiple successful drone sorties. In the video call, Rana, the Pakistani smuggler, provided instructions to the Indian counterpart on handing over part of the consignment to a hinterland courier. This revelation led to the apprehension of another courier, further exposing the intricate web of the cross-border smuggling network, reported IANS.
As per IANS, the BSF will also pursue a strong case for an Interpol notice, in coordination with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), against Pakistani smuggler Rana, his brother, and Saha (the kingpins).ย
“In total, the operation led to the apprehension of four smugglers, seizure of nine packets of heroin, one packet of ICE (methamphetamine) both weighing 5.900 kg approximately, including packing material, one pistol, four rounds, Indian currency Rs 70,140, and one scooter”, BSF added, as per IANS.
