Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Saturday the bullets allegedly fired at Rameswaram fishermen are not in use by the Coast Guard. “I asked the next morning about this to the Coast Guard Chief. ‘We don’t have such bullets....Do you supply such bullets to us?,’ he told us. I am not saying that I disbelieve anyone in this. Fishermen have been injured....We have to investigate who fired those bullets....I do not know where those bullets came from,” she said.
