Ahmedabad, Oct 2 (IBNS): In a major development, Indian coast guards have apprehended a Pakistani boat with nine crew members, media reports said.

The boat was apprehended from Arabian sea off Gujarat.

The crew members are reportedly fishermen.

“The preliminary information indicates the crew to be Pakistani fishermen. However, the boat and the crew member are being escorted to Porbandar for further rummaging/ joint investigation,” The Hindu quoted a release issued by the Defence PRO Wing Commander Abhishek Matiman.


The relationship between Indian and Pakistan has deteriorated in recent past since the Uri attacks on Sept 18 which left 18 Indian soldiers killed.

India has also launched a campaign against Pakistan at the United Nations' platforms for aiding and abetting terrorism.
