Indian Coast Guard has impounded a Sri Lankan fishing boat found fishing in Indian waters, a Defence spokesman said here on Friday.

He said the boat, being brought here, would be handed over to the police after initial investigation by the Coast Guard.

The seizure comes a day after the Coast Guard arrested 18 Sri Lankan fishermen and impounded their eight boats for fishing in Indian territorial waters off the Nagapattinam coast in southern Tamil Nadu.
