Following directives from Jodhpur DIG Intelligence Vidur Bhardwaj, a search operation was led by Deputy Commandant Intelligence Mahesh Chand Jat, along with Inspectors Tarachand Yadav, Ajay Kumar Pandey, and Deepak Kumar. During the operation, the team recovered a yellow packet containing three kilograms of heroin in the 3 KNM area of the 12 KND village.

Biggest Drug Bust of the Year
The BSF has consistently intercepted smuggling attempts along the Indo-Pak border. This latest heroin seizure marks the biggest drug bust by the force this year.

BSF’s Ongoing Crackdown on Smuggling
The BSF has been actively conducting search operations in border areas. In February, the force apprehended Jarnail Singh, a resident of 10 Bidis, with a country-made pistol and two cartridges. Last year, in April, a Pakistani drone was captured in the 23 KD area of the border outpost. Additionally, in July, BSF seized 2 kg of heroin, and a motorcycle, and arrested smuggler Hardeep, a resident of Sameja Kothi, in the 23 KD area of the border outpost Nemichand.
