Border Security Force catches four Pakistani fishermen and boat in Gujarat

Four Pakistani fishermen have been caught by the Border Security Force in the Kutch district of Gujarat after entering Indian waters. The operation took place on October 25, 2026, based on specific intelligence inputs received by the BSF. Officials confirmed that the men were carrying out crab-catching activities in the area.

Details

The BSF operation took place in the Sir Creek area near the Indo-Pak border, resulting in the seizure of a Pakistani fishing boat alongside the arrests. The four detained men are Kadir Thaimor, Muhammad Mussa, Azgar Thaimor, and Ahsan Jat. All four are residents of Chach Jaan Khan village, which is located in Pakistan's Sindh province.

Context

Sir Creek is a narrow and marshy tidal channel situated in the Rann of Kutch along the border between India and Pakistan. Unauthorized entry into Indian maritime boundaries by fishermen from neighboring areas often leads to security interventions by border forces. Security agencies maintain strict watch over these sensitive coastal zones to prevent illegal crossings.
