The vessel been identified as ‘Abdullah Sharafat’
The Indian Navy has intercepted a small vessel reportedly originating from Kuwait after it entered into Indian territorial waters, officials said here on Tuesday.
The vessel was noticed by a patrolling unit, which escorted it to the Gateway of India where it’s currently anchored.
The vessel has been identified as ‘Abdullah Sharafat‘. There were at least three persons on board who were being questioned by a team of the Indian Navy and the Coastal Police.
Coastal Police said that the incident was being taken with utmost seriousness because of the November 26, 2008, terror attacks when 10 heavily armed Pakistani terrorists hijacked a vessel landed in the city and murdered hundreds of innocent Indian citizens.
The authorities have launched a probe into the matter.
