Jaipur, June 21 (IANS) BSF jawans in Rajasthan have arrested four smugglers and recovered 2 kg heroin smuggled in from Pakistan using a drone. The contraband is worth Rs 10 crore in the international market, officials said on Wednesday.
The BSF and the police jointly carried out the operation and arrested the four smugglers, who had come to collect the supply dropped by a drone.
