A group of fishermen from Tamil Nadu were injured after attackers on board a fast craft vessel coming from the island of Sri Lanka, boarded their boats and assaulted them.
The Deccan Chronicle says that 5 attackers, alleged to be sea pirates from Sri Lanka, boarded the fishing vessels as they were fishing off the coast of Point Calimere on Friday night.
The fishermen were attacked with wooden logs, with two of them sustaining serious head injuries. The attackers then made off with the fishing catch and nets, as well as GPS equipment from the fishing boats.
