Punjab's 'Baaz Akh' anti-drone system busts Pakistani drone carrying drugs

India Feb 04, 2026

Punjab's "Baaz Akh" anti-drone system just spotted and brought down a Pakistani drone near Tarn Taran, right by the border.
The drone was carrying nearly 4kg of heroin, which police and BSF found in nearby fields—another clear sign of how smugglers are using tech to sneak drugs into India.

Investigators are tracking who was behind this smuggling attempt

Punjab Police chief Gaurav Yadav confirmed the bust, and authorities said a case was registered under Section 21-C of the NDPS Act.
Now, investigators are tracking who was behind this smuggling attempt and how the drugs were supposed to be delivered.
"Baaz Akh" has been installed (three units) as reported on Feb 4, 2026, and is expanding across Punjab as a high-tech shield against cross-border crime.
