Weapons were dropped into India by a Pakistani drone
According to SSP Amritsar Rural Sohail Mir, the arrest and the seizure took place during a raid in the Mahwa village. The police actions followed some intelligence inputs about an assassination plot against a policeman. The weapons were dropped by a Pakistani drone inside the Indian territory near the Muhawa border village in the Attari sub-division in a blue-coloured suitcase. They were meant to be transported to Gurdaspur, where the accused planned to kill a cop.
