The Indian coast guard denied reports which quoted a deputy inspector general claiming that he gave order to blow up a Pakistani boat which on New Year’s Eve infiltrated into Indian waters.
KR Nautiyal, deputy director general informs that he has DIG BK Loshali has submitted a written statement saying that he did not subscribe to what was reported in one of the Indian newspapers.
DIG BK Loshali also rejected the report at a press conference in Ahmedabad saying, “I do not subscribe to the report. The operation was not being handled by me. I was not privy to it completely. I reiterate the boat set herself on fire and was not sunk by Coast Guard.”
One of the Indian newspapers quoted DIG BK Loshali as saying that he had ordered the Pakistani boat to be blown up which was highly in contrast to the statement of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar that Pakistani militants on the boat blew it up after being cornered by Indian naval forces.
