Indian Navy ship disables dhow with 31 pirates in Gulf of Aden​

New Delhi, December 10, 2010

An Indian Naval ship intercepted and disabled a dhow with 31 pirates in the Gulf of Aden, 166 kms south of Yemen on Wednesday, an official press release said here today.


The release said INS Investigator was on transit through the Gulf of Aden when a distress call was received from MV Naftocement 18, reporting a dhow attempting to close the ship.


INS Investigator took swift action to close the dhow and launch a boarding party. Investigations revealed six skiffs with six Out Board Motors (OBMs), one AK-47 with magazine and ammunition box, gas cylinders, fuel and fresh water drums on board the dhow. All equipment was rendered unavailable and the dhow disabled from launching possible piracy missions, the release said.

At the same time, INS Gomati deployed in the Gulf of Aden for anti-piracy escort duties, was escorting other Merchant Vessels 110 km east of the incident.

This incident marked the 26th instance of successful disruption of piracy attempts by the Indian Navy since the anti-piracy operations were commenced by the Indian Navy in October, 2008, the release added.

a proper investigation should be carried out to check whether the india navy broke any international law during this operation.

according to the report, it is clear that 31 people were carrying a single ak-47, yet the indian propaganda media call them pirates without any solid evidence.

you can't deny the facts here:

india navy illegally stopped a boat full of 31 people, they found 1 AK-47 and claimed that those 31 people are pirates.

you tell me how 31 pirates only carry one single AK-47?

you can't assume all readers of this report are as stupid as the editor. 31 pirates, only one single AK-47 found? what those 30 unarmed friendly "pirates" were doing on that boat? reading defence.pk forum?

Using their hands , i guess.

Also they maybe having cash problems to buy more guns..

And identifying them was easy .. they had a patch in one eye like usual pirates and they had this flag on top their boat.

Nope. Apparently the only one who refuses to acknowledge the report and facts is! You assume that a single AK-47 is harmless, right?

Anywho, @OP: why is an INS survey ship doing anti-piracy operations?

Though of the same class as of other similar ones including INS Darshak(which is a survey ship)..which all belong to Sandyak Class, this one is termed as a warship.

Warships - Investigator

Survey ships usually dont carry guns - they are more "civilian" in nature. Why does this one have guns?

 

[SpArK]

oops .. now i am confused.. this ship shows up in naval hydrographic department too..


INS Investigator

Lets assume its a mix of both with guns and the chetak along with it.

I am asking for solid evidence.

Here what people can see is india navy illegally arrested 31 people fishing in international water. that india navy ship is the real pirates here.

They are just being arrested. I dont thing the evidence will be provided to a certain user named "peaceful' in this short span of time by the navy people.

And how come you concluded they are arrested illegally? were you travelling alongside a boat?/ or have u seen a CCTV footage.. or is it foot in the mouth syndrome?
