S Emirit and P Sesuraja, President and Secretary respectively of Tamil Nadu Coastal Fishermen’s Association, said the navy had charged them for “deliberately” colliding their boat with the Sri Lankan high speed modern patrol boat and damaging it.
The Judicial Magistrate Jawahabdeen remanded the fishermen till November 18.
