At least 12 Pakistani nationals were arrested along with their two boats by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) for illegally entering Indian waters near Padala creek in Koteshwar off Kutch in Gujarat.
According to a BSF official, the 12 persons, who seemed to be fishermen, were nabbed during a patrol on Thursday night. They will be brought to the Joint Interrogation Centre in Bhuj where they will be questioned. Nothing incriminating has been recovered from their possession so far.
This is the second time this month that Pakistani nationals have been nabbed after they crossed the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL).
On June 12, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) had apprehended a Pakistani boat with 12 fishermen onboard, 38 nautical miles off the IMBL near Jakhau coast in Jamnagar district of the state.
