The Indian Coast Guard has apprehended 14 Sri Lankan nationals on board five fishing boats, on charges of poaching illegally in Indian waters.
While on patrol, the ICGS Rani Durgavati, located these boats about 15 miles from Point Calimere (Kodiakarai) off the Tamil Nadu coast, an informed source said.
All five boats, equipped with fishing gear, were actively engaged in fishing “well inside Indian waters,” the source said.
