Porbandar: The Pakistani Marine Security Agency reportedly seized an Indian fishing boat near the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL) today. The vessel, named Nar Narayan, had departed from Veraval in Junagadh for fishing but was taken over after allegedly entering the no-fishing zone.

Preliminary reports indicate the vessel was registered at Madhwad port in Gir Somnath district and had eight Indian fishermen on board, including seven from Junagadh and one from Maharashtra. The fishermen are believed to be in the custody of the PMSA.

There are also reports claiming that the Pakistani agency fired upon the vessel during the seizure. However, no official statement has been issued regarding the incident so far. DeshGujarat
