The official said that the Coast Guard has also apprehended the crew members of the boat. “A joint interrogation will be done of the crew,” the official said.

He said that the Indian Coast Guard Ship Arinjay while patrolling in Arabian Sea observed one Pakistani fishing boat, fishing about 15 kms inside Indian waters near the International Maritime Boundary Line on November 21.
