Ten Indian fishermen were arrested along with their trawler by the Sri Lankan Navy for allegedly poaching in the island nation's waters, reports said.

The incident took place north of
Point Pedro, Jaffna, the reports stated, quoting an official release.

In a similar incident on Saturday, 12 Indian fishermen were arrested, and their three trawlers confiscated by the Sri Lankan Navy.
It's a contentious issue between India and Sri Lanka, with the island nation's naval personnel even firing at the Indian fishermen for allegedly entering into Sri Lankan territorial waters.
In 2023, 240 Indian fishermen were taken into custody with their 35 trawlers for poaching in Sri Lankan waters.
