Two Sri Lankan fishermen arrested after they ‘swim’ to Nagapattinam

Two Sri Lankan fishermen, who arrived at Siruthalaikadu near Point Calimere in Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu on Tuesday after their boat ‘capsized’ owing to rough weather early on Monday, were arrested, Indian media reported.
Their boat drifted across IMBL into Indian waters due to rough weather and capsized around 3 am. The two persons claimed that they had even requested some Tamil Nadu fishermen on mechanised and motorised boats to take them onboard, but in vain.
Local fishers from Siruthalaikadu noticed the two persons in the sea near Indian shores, took them onboard their motorised boat and brought them to their village.
