Ahmedabad. Pakistani citizens tried to do nefarious acts in Gujarat, but it could not be possible due to the promptness of the Border Security Force personnel. On the creek border of the Gulf of Kutch, BSF has caught a fisherman from a neighboring country along with 3 Pakistani boats. Actually, the BSF team was monitoring the border. In the meantime, he saw the Pakistani boat and without wasting time took the boat in his possession.

In this quick action taken by the patrolling BSF jawans, a Pakistani national was caught, while the rest of the fishermen managed to escape leaving the boat. The Border Security Force has started investigating the matter.

BSF Gujarat Frontier issued a statement saying, “BSF caught one Pakistani fisherman and confiscated three Pakistani fishing boats, rest Pakistani fishermen managed to escape into Pakistan territory by taking advantage of the mud and marshy area in Sir Creek area.” “

Earlier, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) had intercepted a Pakistani boat carrying 10 crew members from Indian waters on January 8 off the coast of Gujarat. The boat was named ‘Yasin’ and was caught by the Coast Guard during patrol on the night of January 8. About two thousand kilograms of fish and 600 liters of diesel were recovered from the boat.
