A team of Border Security Force jawans, patrolling the area, found the boats at Lakshman Point in Sir Creek, an estuary along the India-Pakistan border, around 8.25 am, the official said. The boats were carrying fishing equipment, but nobody was found on board, the official added.

Following the seizure, the BSF launched a search operation along the border area, he said, adding that nothing suspicious was found so far.

In a release, the BSF said, “A thorough search operation of the area has been launched. It is still underway, but so far nothing suspicious has been recovered from the area.”
