Fourteen Pakistani nationals have been arrested and their boat seized for illegally entering Indian waters from near Jhakhau off the west coast in Kutch district, Indian Coast Guard (ICG) officials said on Tuesday.
The Pakistani boat named Al-Anwari carrying 14 persons on board was seized on Monday evening by the ICG team patrolling in the region.
According to Coast Guard officials, 14 Pakistani nationals had been apprehended and were being brought to the Okha coast in Jamnagar where they would be interrogated by various intelligence agencies.
The Coast Guard had arrested 14 Pakistani men in two separate incidents last month, after they illegally entered the Indian territory from the Jhakhau region in fishing boats.
