Members of Bangladesh Coast Guard have detained 13 Indian fishermen along with a fishing trawler on charge of illegally intruding into Bangladesh territory in the Bay of Bengal.
On Saturday night, CGS Sonar Bangla, inshore patrol vessel of the Bangladesh Coast Guard, spotted a foreign trawler, named Shornotara, illegally fishing in Bangladeshi waters.
Sensing their presence, the intruders tried to flee but the coast guards detained the fishermen along with the boat from 15.4 nautical miles southwest of Mongla Fairway Buoy.
According to Coast Guard sources, 126 Indian fishermen, including 11 fishing trawlers, have been detained by the Navy and Coast Guard in six phases this season (2021).
