Rajasthan police seize Rs 55 crore heroinRs 55 crore heroin linked to Pakistan drone smuggling
Rajasthan police arrested three people, including a couple, after seizing Rs 55 crore worth of heroin linked to a cross-border smuggling network using Pakistan drones.
The bust occurred in Sriganganagar on June 26, 2026, and exposes a dangerous trend of drones facilitating illegal drug trade between India and Pakistan.
This incident matters as it signals an escalation in non-state smuggling tactics that could undermine regional security efforts.
- Pakistan has increasingly used commercial drones for illegal cross-border activities since 2024.
- Rajasthan shares a 1,070 km border with Pakistan, making it a key corridor for smuggling.
- Heroin seizures in India rose by 18% in 2025 compared to the previous year.
