In a letter to Modi, she said 21-year-old Antony Arul Anish hailing from a fishing hamlet in Kanyakumari district was working as a contract labourer in a fishing company based at Qatar.
"He was shot dead by sea pirates while fishing along with five other fishermen. The tragic incident occurred on the high seas off the coast of Bahrain," she said in her letter, copies of which were released to the media here today.
She also sought steps to ensure that the terminal monetary benefits due to him are released to his family without delay.
The poor, innocent fisherman had gone to Qatar as a fishing labourer on contract and his family had been traumatised by the loss of their sole bread winner, she said.
