India can provide proof
The new Navy Chief S. Dissanayake while assuming duties today said that India can provide proof, if there is any that the Sri Lankan Navy killed the Indian fisherman during the alleged shooting incident.
The Indian government last week summoned Sri Lankan High Commissioner in New Delhi Prasad Kariyawasam and asked for an explanation on the shooting incident, where an Indian fisherman was allegedly killed in the high seas.
However, the Sri Lankan Navy has denied that they had fired and said they were assisting the fishermen to return into Indian waters. It was reported on Wednesday (12th) that the Sri Lankan Navy opened fire on Indian fishermen in the Indian Ocean killing one and critically injuring another.
The firing reportedly occurred as the Lankans believed the fisherman were trespassing. But it is not clear whether the fisherman were in Indian territorial waters or in Lanka's, reports said. (Daily Mirror online)
