Malpe (Karnataka): Former Karnataka fisheries minister Pramod Madhwaraj on Saturday (May 4) alleged that the Indian Navy killed seven Karnataka fishermen who went missing in December 2018.
Speaking to reporters, Madhwaraj said that the Indian Navy killed the seven fishermen and said the announcement was made later because of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. He said INS Kochi had rammed into the fishing vessel Suvarna Tribhuja which went missing with seven fishermen in December last year. The wreckage was found recently, after four-and-half months.
