Overview
- A joint operation by the BSF’s 165th Battalion and Jammu and Kashmir Police recovered two yellow packets containing about 6.582 kg of heroin from wheat fields in Nai Basti Karotana, RS Pura.
- The search followed intelligence on cross-border drone activity near the International Border, leading to cordon-and-search operations across the area.
- An NDPS case has been registered in RS Pura as agencies examine backward and forward linkages to identify the source, intended recipients, and the wider trafficking module.
- The RS Pura recovery came a day after Kathua Police arrested two men linked to a drone drop near Nagri and seized roughly 150 grams of heroin, with contacts traced via VoIP calls to handlers across the border.
- Police reported additional smaller seizures the same day in Jammu district, detaining six suspects with over 43 grams in RS Pura, Bishnah, and Bakshi Nagar as surveillance and anti-drone measures were stepped up.
