The Border Security Force (BSF) caught four Pakistani fishermen and seized a fibre fishing boat after intercepting them in the sensitive Sir Creek area of the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat along the India-Pakistan border on Sunday.
The operation was carried out following intelligence inputs about the fishermen’s presence in Indian waters. The personnel intercepted the men, who had allegedly crossed into Indian territory to catch crabs.
The apprehended fishermen have been identified as Kadir Thaimor, Muhammad Mussa, Azgar Thaimor and Ahsan Jat. All four are reportedly residents of Pakistan’s Sindh province.
The BSF seized the fibre fishing boat during the operation. Further details regarding the investigation, the recovery of any additional items and the subsequent legal proceedings were not immediately available.
