Two days after open firing by Pakistani Navy personnel left a fisherman dead and another badly injured, the Navi Bandar police in Porbandar district registered an FIR against unknown people in the matter. The investigating team has seized the GPS device installed on Jalpari, the boat that was targeted in the firing, to ascertain its exact location at the time of the incident. The Porbandar police told mid-day that the matter will be raised at the international level through the diplomatic channel. 

Complainant Dilip Solanki, who was the driver of Jalpari, had a narrow escape during the firing — a bullet brushed past his face. The boat had a total of seven crew members, including the Palghar fisherman, who succumbed to his injuries. The police have recorded the statements of all the crewmembers. In the complaint, Solanki told the police that the incident happened when they were fishing in Indian waters.
