An investigation into the dropping of weapons by drones in the Baspur Bangla area along the International Border (IB) in R S Pura led to Chander Bose of Doda and Shamsher Singh of Camp Gole Gujral, Jammu. Four pistols, eight magazines and 47 rounds were recovered from them, officials said.

During interrogation, Bose revealed that he was working at the behest of Singh, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Mukesh Singh said.

During the questioning of the two, it was learnt that the coordinator of the terror module is based in Europe, the officials said.
