Kuber starts fishing in Arabian sea again


Rajkot, Aug 22 (PTI) Kuber, the fishing trawler used by
Pakistani militants to reach west Indian city Mumbai on 26/11
is back in business, first time after the terror attacks in
November.

The trawler was sent for fishing Friday evening with nine
fishermen on board.

"Before sending Kuber for fishing, we all prayed to god
and sought blessings that such an incident does not occur with
the boat again," said owner of the boat, Vinod Masani.

The boat which was hijacked by ten Pakistani militants
who used it to reach India's economic capital in November
last year was handed over to its owner a couple of months
back.

The captain of the boat Amarsinh was found murdered in
the boat and four of its crew members who are still missing
are also believed to have been murdered and thrown in the sea
by the terrorists.

As the boat was used by the terrorists, the security
agencies had taken it into custody and also summoned its owner
Vinod Masani for interrogation.

Both, Masani and his boat were given clean chit by the
security agencies and the boat was handed over to him. PTI VJA
