Just a day before Janmashtami festival, a suspicious unoccupied boat with three AK 47 assault rifles and 10 boxes of live ammunition has been found in the sea off the coast of Maharashtra's Raigad.
Security has been increased in and around the beach at Harihareshwar, where the boat was seized, and officials are on high alert. This development comes just days before the upcoming Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
Officials have begun inquiries but have ruled out a terror angle at this time.
According to the visuals, a white powerboat is drifting a short distance offshore. The boat was discovered about 200 kilometres from Mumbai. Locals in the area first noticed it and then informed police of its location.
Raigad MLA, Aditi Tatkare, said that she has requested Maharashtra Chief Minister for a special probe in the incident.
