Drone Recovered Near India-Bangladesh Border in Assam’s Charbazar; Probe Underway

SRIBHUMI: A drone was recovered in an abandoned state near the India-Bangladesh border in Assam's Charbazar area, close to Sribhumi town, prompting a high-level security investigation. The incident occurred just hours after the Indian armed forces conducted precision strikes on terror camps across the Line of Control in Pakistan, adding to the already heightened regional tensions.

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was spotted by local residents in an open field and was reported to the authorities. Law enforcement officials arrived immediately, secured the area, and transported the drone to the Sribhumi police station for technical analysis.

A senior police official suggested that the drone may have originated from across the Bangladesh border. Though the investigation is ongoing, initial assessments point toward the possibility of cross-border surveillance or illicit activities such as smuggling or espionage.

With Sribhumi's proximity to an international boundary, the area has witnessed similar security concerns in the past. Police have launched a full-scale investigation to determine the drone's origin, flight path, and intended use. Technical experts are examining the device for data and other forensic evidence.

The timing of the drone's discovery, closely following India's military operations in Pakistan, has raised concerns, though officials have not established any direct connection between the two events. Nonetheless, security forces remain on high alert.
