The Sri Lanka Navy today denied allegations by Indian fishermen and the media that the Navy was harassing Indian fishermen arrested for fishing in Sri Lankan waters.

“Such allegations are being made frequently against us. There is no basis for them. We don’t even need to deny these as they are all fabrications,” Navy spokesman Commander Kosala Warnakulasuriya said.

The Navy has referred the arrested fishermen to the relevant authorities. Recently the Navy arrested a batch of Indian fishermen for allegedly fishing in Sri Lankan waters..

Meanwhile, Indian media reported that the marine police of the Coastal Security Group (CSG) in Tamil Nadu have filed an attempted-murder case against the Sri Lanka Navy for allegedly sinking a fishing boat and forcing five fishermen to jump into the sea. (Lahiru Pothmulla)
