Sri Lankan news of Indian Navy for attacking Sri Lankan Fishermen is false

This blame on the Indian Navy is like the pot calling the kettle black, as there are ample incidents of attack on Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy.

Colombo (Sri Lanka) – Sri Lankan media has allegedly reported about the Indian Navy attacking Sri Lankan Fishermen. Responding to the Media Report, the Indian High Commission called it ‘blatantly false’ and said there had been no such assault on the Sri Lankan fishermen. The Sri Lankan Fisheries Ministry has assured that after investigation, they will discuss the matter with India.

A group of 13 local fishermen claimed that they had ventured out into the sea on trawlers ‘Thushan 1’ and ‘Thushan II’ and on 4th June, they were physically assaulted by the Indian Navy in the international waters around Diego Garcia. The Indian Navy also demanded drugs from them.
