The Indian forces on Friday returned 27 Bangladeshi fishermen after they had rescued them.

The Indian Coast Guard rescued 27 Bangladeshi fishermen stranded at sea.

“The fishing boat, named ‘FV Sagar-02’, had set out from Chattogram’s Kutubdia on 1 April with 27 fishermen on board,” Lieutenant Commander Khandaker Munif Taki, the media officer of the Coast Guard Headquarters, said in a press release.

“On 4 April, around 1:35pm, the boat’s engine suddenly broke down and it began to drift across the Bangladesh-India maritime border and entered Indian waters. The Indian Coast Guard ship ICGS Amogh spotted the boat and rescued the fishermen.”

“The Indian Coast Guard then informed the Bangladesh Coast Guard,” the lieutenant commander said.

“In the evening, the Indian Coast Guard ship ICGS Amogh handed over the boat and the 27 fishermen to the Bangladesh Coast Guard ship Kamruzzaman at the Bangladesh-India international maritime boundary.”
