Security agencies continued to grill 16 Pakistani and three Iraqi nationals who were on board an unidentified ship detained off the coast of Lakshadweep. Sources privy to the interrogation of the foreign nationals said that they were not forthcoming in giving out details about their voyage. The ship has been anchored off Kavaratty, the capital of Lakshwadeep. The ship had sailed into Indian waters and was heading to an unknown destination when it was challenged by the Coast Guard and the Navy and detained recently. Sources said, the initial suspicion amounted to the ship’s movement towards the Maldives, which, according to Indian intelligence, is now a preferred destination by terror groups based in Pakistan. However, the sources did not rule out the vessel sailing towards any of the unoccupied islands in Lakshadweep or Daman and Diu areas.
