Sri Lankan Navy put chilly powder in our eyes

Karaikal: Four fishermen from Puducherry have been injured in an alleged attack by Sri Lankan Coast Guard personnel, who, they say, threw chilly powder in their eyes, beat them up and dumped their equipment, worth fifteen lakh rupees in the sea.




Five Karaikal-based fishermen had ventured into the sea on March 2 in a fibreglass boat and were fishing off the Kodiakarai coast last night, when they were allegedly attacked by the Lankan personnel. They said the Lankans came up in white boats, surrounded them and then attacked.

"They confiscated our Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment, walkie-talkie and Echo sounder. They have also cut all our nets. There's nothing in our boats and we've lost equipment worth fifteen lakh rupees," said Mr Chandrakumar, one of the injured fisherman.

One fisherman managed to escape unhurt as he hid near the boat's engines, he said. They returned to shore today and have been admitted to the Karaikal General Hospital.
