A 27-year-old Sri Lankan was arrested at Arichal Munai, 15 km from Tamil Nadu on Monday after he arrived by an illegal ferry, four days after another man from the island nation was held from the same area.

Police said Rochen (27) had told them he had come here from Vavuniya in the island nation after paying Rs 40,000 to a ferry operator, which dropped him and then went back.

On January 13, another Lankan national Prithviraj landed in the same area by an illegal ferry and was arrested. (Source: Hindustan Times)
