A 68-year-old man from Tiruchirappally in Tamil Nadu was arrested here on Tuesday for allegedly entering the country "illegally" through the sea from Sri Lanka, where he was stuck following suspension of air services, police said. The man was picked up by a patrol team of the Marine Police after he was spotted near Dhanushkodi.
He had gone to Mannar in Sri Lanka last year for his textile business but was held up thereafter air services were suspended due to the Coronavirus outbreak, police said. He subsequently hired a fishing boat to "illegally" travel to India by the sea route and was spotted here today, they said.
Various security agencies including the Intelligence Bureau (IB) were holding enquiries with him, police added.
