Ahmedabad, Jan 13 (PTI) Seven Pakistani nationals have

Border Security Force (BSF) in the Arabian sea off Kutch
district in western state of Gujarat, a top BSF official said
on Wednesday.
"Our men intercepted a vessel which had crossed into
Indian waters yesterday near the Cori Creek mouth in the
Arabian sea. There were seven men inside the vessel who have
been arrested and handed over to the local police," BSF
Inspector General A K Sinha told PTI.
"During preliminary investigation, the men said that they
have come from Karachi and were here for purpose of fishing,"

A Pakistani boat, which had intruded into Indian waters
near Sir Creek area of Kutch, was seized by the BSF on October
30 last year, but its occupants managed to escape. Earlier on
August 16 last year, the BSF had apprehended nine Pakistani
nationals and seized their boat from the creek area. PTI PB
