A 31-year-old Mandapam fisherman sustained injury during an alleged attack by the Sri Lankan Navy while fishing at sea on Wednesday (11), The New Indian Express reports.
According to their sources, Sri Lankan Navy personnel arrived in about five to six patrol vessels, surrounded the fishermen and snapped their nets while they were fishing near Katchatheevu.
The personnel reportedly chased the fishermen away for trespassing the IMBL, and hurled stones and glass bottles at them, said Charles, a local fisherman from the area.
