Two plastic bottles were found filled with heroin.
The Border Security Force on Saturday recovered more than one-kilogram heroin in two plastic bottles from the Sutlej river near the border village in Punjab's Ferozepur, said a BSF official.
The BSF troops observed suspicious articles flowing in Sutlej near village Rao-Ke and managed to bring the suspected floating articles to the bank of the river.
Later, it was found that the articles consisted of a consignment of two plastic bottles filled with heroin (1.50 kg).
In a tweet, the BSF said, "#AlertBSF troops seized 2 plastic bottles containing appx 1.5 kg #Heroin near Village- Rao ke, District #Ferozepur. The drugs were discreetly floated from Pakistan to India in the River Sutlej."
