The Border Security Force (BSF) on Saturday seized one Pakistani fishing boat within Indian territory off the coast of Bhuj, Gujarat.

According to reports, the boat was found lying abandoned with no personnel on it.

The BSF had earlier this month seized a Pakistani boat loaded with 400 kg fish near Sutlej River in Punjab's Firozpur border area.

Last month, the Pakistan Navy apprehended 88 Indian fishermen and 15 boats off the Gujarat coast in the Arabian Sea. They were arrested from Jakhau village of Gujarat.

Earlier this year, nearly arrested sixty Indian fishermen were arrested by Pakistan for allegedly straying into its territorial waters.

The fishermen were arrested by Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA).
