The Border Security Force (BSF) on Monday seized 13 kilogram (kg) heroin from two different locations at the India-Pakistan border in Amritsar district.
Pakistani smugglers tried to cross over to India under the cover of a thick blanket of fog. A patrolling party of the force observed some suspicious movement at the Indo-Pakistan Border Out Post Daoke and Barowal and opened fire as some people were seen moving back towards Pakistani territory, an official said.
A comprehensive search operation was launched at Daoke, wherein the troops seized 12 kg heroin, while one kg heroin was seized at Barowal Border Out Post, the official said.
