The body of a Tamil Nadu fisherman who went missing on August 25 has been found washed up on Valvettithurai coast Saturday.
The president of the Fishermen's Association T Sesuraja identified the body as that of Isron, who was one of three men who went missing that day, reports PTI.
The body has been transferred to Jaffna hospital for a post-mortem.
His death comes amid ongoing attacks on Tamil Nadu fishermen, including mass arrests and detention of fishing boats by the Sri Lankan navy.
The actions of the navy have received intense criticism in Tamil Nadu, notably by the Chief Minister who has over recent months been exerting increasingly pressure on Prime Minister Modi to bring an end to the arrests.
