"Six Pakistani men on board a vessel, Al-Hasan, were caught off Jhakau coast this morning after they entered the Indian waters illegally," an ICG official said.

They were apprehended during routine sea patrolling by the Okha-based ICG unit.

"They will be handed over to the police in Okha and afterwards taken to the Joint Interrogation Centre (at Bhuj) where they will be quizzed by various state and central intelligence agencies," he said.
