Four Tamil Nadu fishermen robbed mid-sea by suspected Sri Lankan nationals

The Hindu  

Four fishermen from Tamil Nadu were robbed of their fishing gear and other equipment by a group of suspected Sri Lankan nationals while they were fishing mid-sea. The incident occurred on August 24, 2024, after the fishermen – Kumar, 50, from Kuttiyandiyur, Tharangambadi; Kandhan, 51, from Ariyanattu Street, Nagapattinam; David, 43, from Kovalam, Kanniyakumari; and Sandakrush, 51, from Koothankuzhi – ventured into the sea on a fibre boat from the Nagapattinam fishing harbour. They were fishing 10 nautical miles east of Kodiyakkarai when they were attacked by four men, suspected to be Tamil-speaking Sri Lankans, who arrived on another boat. They allegedly assaulted the fishermen and stole two boat engines, a GPS device, a mobile phone, 110 litres of petrol stored in three cans, and fishing nets worth ₹2 lakh.
