UAV event in Jammu and Kashmir, Baspur Bangla area, India on Sun 30th October 2022

On October 30, Police arrested two suspects, Chander Bose of Doda and Shamsher Singh of Camp Gole Gujara, and recovered a consignment of arms and ammunition dropped through a drone along the International Border at Baspur Bangla in R. S. Pura sector of Jammu District, reports Daily Excelsior. The arrestees were in touch with Balvinder Singh of Jammu, now settled in Europe. Police said all of them were working for a banned militant outfit. Recoveries made from their possession include four pistols with eight magazines and 47 rounds. Police said: “Since Baspur Bangla (where drone dropping took place) is close to the fence, the information was shared with all Police Stations and a dedicated officer led team was put on job. The technical surveillance unit was also mobilised. All vehicles which had crossed police checking points around that time were scrutinized. CCTF footage of the place and the roads leading to the general area were thoroughly checked. Physical pattern and technical analysis was pursued thoroughly. This ultimately led to arrests and recoveries”. The consignment was dropped from across the border on the intervening night of October 27 and 28 at Baspur Bangla. This is fourth cache of drone consignment recovery by Jammu Police in 2022.
