The Border Security Fore has shot down another drone along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab's Amritsar.

The BSF has also arrested a smuggler along with a consignment of narcotics. The BSF personnel deployed near the Dhanoe village in the Khurd district in Amritsar shot down the drone after it had been intercepted after hearing a buzzing sound.

During a subsequent search of the area, the troops recovered a drone from the farming fields.

Meanwhile the troops also saw three persons running towards the village, challenged them and caught hold of one suspect alongwith a bag containing a suspected narcotics consignment of three packets (gross weight of approximately 3.4 kg) worth crore.
