Rameswaram (TN): Four Tamil Nadu fishermen were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy today for allegedly poaching fish in the island nation’s waters, a state fisheries department official said here.
The fishermen from Mandapam near here were arrested for poaching in Lanka’s territorial waters near Neduntheevu and charged with using banned fishing nets, Fisheries Assistant Director Gopinath said.
They were taken to Kangesanthurai along with the boat and lodged at the naval base there, he added.
