Coastal security agencies have arrested a Polish national who illegally entered Tamil Nadu by boat. Separately, central intelligence agencies have issued an alert on the possible intrusion of a few Chinese nationals into India by taking the sea route.
According to police sources, the Polish national, identified as Matuszewski Wladyslaw Francisze, 40, had gone to Sri Lanka as a tourist in 2019 and reportedly overstayed. He was arrested by the police on Sunday hours after he landed near Point Calimere in a rubber dinghy and went into hiding. He was picked up for questioning at Arcottuthurai nearby.
Mr Matuszewski reportedly told investigators at Vedaranyam that he had landed at Point Calimere hoping to get back to his country. Preliminary inquires revealed he was involved in a criminal offence in Sri Lanka and was arrested but was out on bail.
