During search, it was found to be filled with around five kgs of drugs, the statement reads, adding that the place of recovery was approx. 100 mtr ahead of fence inside Indian Territory. “Area on Pak side of international boundary is undulated with small nallas and wild growth which might have provided cover to smugglers to conceal the contraband.
