"The drone, of size larger than usual, was carrying six kilogrammes of heroin when it crashed into the fields of a landlord identified as Rozdar," he told Dawn.com.
Locals gathered around the drone after it crashed, and the cops were called later.
SHO Wahid said that both the drone and the drugs, which were worth millions of rupees, had been taken into police custody.
"They have been handed over to the Anti-Narcotics Force for further investigation pertaining to where the drone was operated from and where it was headed," he added.
Earlier this year, the Narowal police arrested five suspects who were suspected of using drones to bring heroin across the border. During the investigation, the cops also confiscated automatic weapons, eight batteries, and a device for controlling it.
