Fourteen fishermen from West Bengal have been detained by the Bangladesh Coast Guard (BCG) after they ventured into international waters, police said on Sunday.
They are being escorted up to Kakdwip harbour where they will be handed over to the state fisheries.
The boats were stranded and had taken shelter at Payra Port in Bangladesh approximately 135 kilometres from IMBL due to inclement weather and rough sea conditions in the Bay of Bengal.
An ICG spokesperson, Kolkata headquarters, informed that the boats reached Kakdwip fishing harbour on Sunday night.
