The officials said today in Mumbai that two AK – 47 rifles and a pistol concealed in an empty fuel tank of the ship have been found.
The ill-fated vessel ‘Nafis-I’ was intercepted on Sunday and all persons on board have been detained. The vessel is being towed to Porbandar, where the people on board will be handed over to the police.
