India’s Coast Guard has detained 35 Bangladeshi fishermen and seized two fishing trawlers, the FB Sabina-1 and FB Rupshi Sultana, for allegedly entering Indian territorial waters in the Bay of Bengal. The vessels were intercepted near the South 24 Parganas coast and later handed over to local police in Fraserganj for legal proceedings. The detained fishermen reportedly hail from Kutubdia in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar district.
The arrests come amid heightened maritime tensions following an earlier incident in which India accused a Bangladeshi naval vessel of colliding with an Indian fishing trawler, causing it to sink. Eleven Indian fishermen were rescued, while five remain missing. Indian authorities have presented the detained Bangladeshis before the Kakdwip Sub-Divisional Court for questioning.
The episode underscores recurring disputes over fishing rights and maritime boundaries in the Bay of Bengal. Diplomatic engagement between Dhaka and New Delhi is expected to address the detentions and prevent further escalation in cross-border fishing conflicts.
