The unidentified smugglers were last evening spotted by the BSF jawans who were on duty at the Mandipur border post in Ferozpur sector. The culprits tried to enter the secured area by using a big plastic pipe, BSF Deputy Inspector General of Punjab Frontier R S Kataria said.
When the jawans warned them and tried to stop them, the smugglers fired at the them, following which they successfully fled the spot due to thick fog, Kataria added.
Each packet weighs 1 kg and the total worth of the six packs is estimated to be Rs 30 crore in the international market, Kataria added.
