BSF captures a Pakistani fishing boat in Haraminala

A Pakistani fishing boat, that had entered into Indian territory, was intercepted and seized by BSF from Haraminala area near the west coast of Kutch, on Monday evening. Seeing the BSF troops, the men inside the boat jumped into the water and swam back into Pakistani territory according to BSP Inspector General A K Sinha.

Nothing suspicious was found inside the boat,” he said.

BSF has increased patrolling in the areas like Haraminala and Sir Creek areas near the Indo-Pak border off the Arabian sea coast, to prevent intrusion into the Indian territory.

In April, the Creek Crocodile Commandos of the BSF had apprehended a dozen Pakistani men, who were trying to infiltrate into the country, and seized two of their boats from the Sir Creek area.

The BSF had also foiled couple of similar infiltration bids by Pakistani fishermen near the Haraminala area on the Indo-Pak border in March.
