The Border Security Force (BSF) has seized two ‘unclaimed’ Pakistani fishing boats along the Indo-Pak border on Friday, officials said.

“During patrolling last evening, we seized two unclaimed boats belonging to Pakistani fishermen that had entered 400 metres into the Indian territory of the Indo-Pak maritime border in Kutch district,” a BSF official said.

The small-sized wooden fishing boats were seized along with fishing nets, ice box and freshly caught fish, he said.

“The fishermen on the boat, it appeared, managed to escape before the BSF patrolling team arrived at the spot. The place from where the boats were apprehended is situated some 13 kilometres from the border outpost,” he said.
