The Border Security Force (BSF) and the police on Sunday recovered over 6kg of heroin near the Indo-Pak border in Moga and Ferozepur.
In a joint operation the Moga police and the BSF recovered 2.05kg of heroin concealed in bottles from wheat fields at Muhar Sona village in Fazilka district near the Indo-Pak border.
Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Harmanbir Singh Gill said acting on a tip-off, a team of district police accompanied by BSF personnel carried a search operation and recovered the contraband packed on two soft drink bottles near the Muhar Sona gate border outpost.
