JALANDHAR: In a special operation in the Indo-Pak border, the BSF on Tuesday seized nine kg of heroin worth Rs 45 crore in the international market, at Border Out Post GG-I Fazilka.
The contraband was found concealed in nine packets at the outpost between Border Security Fence and international boundary, a BSF release said. The packets were found buried in soil and covered with grass near a tree around which a red cloth was tied.
Due to record production of opium in Afghanistan, the smugglers from across the border were constantly trying to push heroin into India for its onward destination to Europe and America, release added. In recent months, the BSF had seized 88 kg of heroin along the border. |
