13 arrested in Sri Lanka following failed entry attempt into India
Sri Lankan authorities have taken 13 individuals, including one woman, into custody. This action followed their failed attempt to enter India via a passenger ferry due to suspected involvement in illicit activities. The group had departed from Kankesanthurai in Sri Lanka on Saturday, heading toward Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu. This incident follows a similar case in June, where 26 passengers were held on the same route due to accusations of gold smuggling.
