Drone found near India-Bangladesh border in Assam: Police
A drone was recovered near the India-Bangladesh border on Wednesday evening in Assam's Sribhumi district, police said.
Officials said that the drone was spotted on the roof of a residence at Bipin Paul Road of the Chorakuri area in the district on Wednesday.
'According to our initial investigation, it looks like this drone has come from the other side of the border,' the superintendent of police (SP), Sribhumi, Partha Pratim Das told HT on Thursday.
He confirmed that the drone was made in China, but no memory card was installed in it.
'We are examining it and also investigating the matter further,' he added.
The drone was found at a time when security agencies were conducting a civil defence mock drill in different parts of Assam.
The Border Security Force (BSF) officials, however, denied the possibility of the drone being sent from Bangladesh's side.

Vijay Mallya shares an India vs US mentality post, and internet users discover a kinky foot fetish link
On June 7, Vijay Mallya shared the link to an Instagram post from Hotmail founder Sabeer Bhatia. People who clicked on the link were stunned to see a pop-up that read, 'Join Indiaflash on Instagram'. Clicking on the 'Indiaflash' link led unsuspecting users to an Instagram page dedicated to 'photos and videos of Indian women driving barefoot'. This series of events has led many to conclude that Vijay Mallya has an anonymous Instagram account dedicated to foot fetish pictures. When you click on an Instagram link that was directly shared by someone – whether through DMs, messaging apps, or other platforms – you may see a pop-up or banner at the top of the post saying it was shared by a specific account (eg, 'Shared by @xyz'). In Mallya's case, he shared a link to Hotmail founder Sabeer Bhatia's Instagram post from his X account. Bhatia's post was on India vs US mentality. However, the pop-up message leading to '@Indiaflash1812' led people to conclude that Mallya is on Instagram under a 'fake' or burner account - and this burner account, active since 2016, has shared more than 2,000 photos and videos of Indian women driving barefoot. has not been able to verify this information, and it may be just a case of mistaken identity. However, this has not stopped the internet from roasting Mallya. For the last couple of days, dozens of people have shared screenshots of the pop-up message they got about the 'Indiaflash' account after clicking on the Instagram link shared by Vijay Mallya. 'Bro accidentally leaked his burner account,' wrote one X user. A burner account is an anonymous online account, often used by people who don't want to link certain activities to their primary account. Another user shared a screenshot of the message that read, 'Indiaflash1812 shared this Reel with you'. 'If you have a secret instagram account make sure to always send a clean link otherwise your fetishes or privacy/account can get exposed,' a user advised. 'Losing it. This is such a specific fetish. I'd understand feet, but feet while driving a car is sending me….' another joked. Internet sleuths did not stop at just opening the Instagram page filled with pictures of women driving barefoot - they went a step further and found several other ties to Vijay Mallya. In 2017, for example, Mexican F1 racing star Sergio "Checo" Pérez shared a photograph with Vijay Mallya on Instagram and tagged the 'Indiaflash' Instagram account. Pérez has 7.5 million Instagram followers. A post shared by Checo Pérez (@schecoperez) A year later, an Instagram account called 'f1humor_official' also tagged the 'Indiaflash' account in a post about Vijay Mallya. Vijay Mallya is officially on Instagram under the handle '@vijaymallyaofficial'. His Instagram account has 1.45 lakh followers and the bio identifies him as a 'Former two term Member of Parliament, Chairman of The UB Group,Sports enthusiast, Veteran Formula One Team Principal, Championing Youth empowerment.'
