The Sri Lanka Navy has apprehended an Indian fishing vessel along with 14 Indian fishermen for engaging in illegal fishing activities in Sri Lankan territorial waters off the southern coast of Mannar.

The operation was conducted on March 6, 2025, by the North Western Naval Command as part of routine patrols to prevent unauthorized fishing and protect marine resources. The seized vessel and the detained fishermen were taken to the Thalvapadu Jetty in Mannar for further legal proceedings.
