Nagapattinam fishermen attacked mid-sea, robbed of their belongings in sixth such attack in two months

The Hindu  

Nine fishermen from the Vanavanmahadevi coastal village in Nagapattinam district were attacked by unidentified persons, mid-sea, while they were fishing to the east of Kodiyakkarai, and robbed of their belongings. Police sources said N. Subramanian, 50, A. Murugesan, 41, A. Sundaramoorthy, 55, C. Rajagopal, 62, and S. Mahalingam, 60, all natives of Vanavanmahadevi near Vedaranyam had ventured into the sea for fishing, on a fibreglass boat, from their village on Tuesday afternoon. The attackers then took the two fishermen whom they had forced on to their boat, and intercepted another fibreglass boat mid-sea a few nautical miles away, with four fishermen on board it, from the same village, around 9 p.m. They also forced Murugesan and Sundaramoorthy to board this fishermen’s boat and then fled after seizing another GPS gadget, a walkie-talkie, a fishing net and silver ornaments from the fishers.
