Two Arrested in Jammu for Drone-Based Cross-Border Drug and Arms Smuggling
Authorities in Jammu's Arnia sector arrested two men linked to a Pakistan-based network involved in drone-assisted smuggling of narcotics and arms. Police recovered an Italian-made pistol, ammunition, 500 grams each of heroin and opium, and registered an FIR under the NDPS and Arms Acts. The accused reportedly received at least two consignments dropped by drones near the India-Pakistan border and supplied these to contacts in Jammu and Punjab. Investigations continue amid increased drone surveillance along the border.
