Lankan boat intercepted

Indian Navy on Monday intercepted a Sri Lankan boat and arrested two persons off Uchipuli coast. The boat was seized after being alerted by a naval patrol helicopter, police said.

Two persons identified as Anran (40) and Valentine (29) were taken into custody.

The boatmen were arrested when they were returning after dropping off a woman from Trincomallee and her three children at Arichalmunai. The woman, Nakuleswari, had paid Rs 50000 to the boatmen for ferrying them.

Police said Nakuleswari had come in search of her husband Srikandan, who had left the family in Sri Lanka and fled to India earlier.
