BHUJ: In two separate incidents on Thursday, an abandoned Pakistani boat was found off the coast of Kutch near Sir Creek and five Pakistani fishermen nabbed from another area in the district. The Indian Navy was in the meantime conducting a mock drill off the Kutch coast, sources said.
The boat, which has been registered in Pakistan, was found abandoned near Koteshwar in Lakhpat taluka of Kutch. It was spotted by jawans of BSF's 117 battalion who were patrolling the area. The seized boat has been brought to the coast.
Later in the afternoon, five Pakistani fishermen were nabbed from another area in Kutch district. Security personnel were trying to find out how these fishermen landed in Indian territory and whether there was any connection between them and the abandoned boat, a BSF officer said.
Meanwhile, the security forces are carrying out a search operation in the coastal areas of Kutch district, including the suspected spots on land and in deep waters.
