Open, indiscriminate firing by Pakistani navy killed a 36-year-old fisherman and injured five others, while they were in a fishing boat in the Arabian Sea off Gujarat on Saturday evening. The firing was targeted at five to six boats. While the deceased’s family claims the boats were in Indian waters, a spokesperson of the Ministry of Defence refused to comment on the incident saying that they are yet to receive any information. Meanwhile, the local cops have started probing the matter.

The deceased has been identified as Shreedhar Ramesh Chamre, a resident of Vadrai village of Palghar district. Chamre’s cousin Praful Bhoir told mid-day that Pakistan forces opened indiscriminate fire at five to six fishing boats on Saturday evening.
