The Coast Guard on Monday apprehended 26 Pakistani fishermen and seized their five fishing boats off Gujarat coast near Kutch as they crossed into Indian territorial waters.
These Pakistani fishermen on five boats were held when they were inside Indian territory, said a release by Defence PRO.
This is the second such apprehension in recent times by the Coast Guard off the Gujarat coast.
Earlier in October this year, ICG ship 'Samudra Pavak' seized a Pakistani boat and apprehended 9 crew members onboard, off Gujarat coast during patrolling.
