Mangaluru: A trawl boat that was anchored at fisheries port in Mangaluru drifted towards Ullal and sank near estuary on Monday.

The boat named ‘Providency’ is owned by Maurice from Bajal.

It is suspected that miscreants had cut the rope of the anchored boat, which lead to the drifting.

All efforts to pull the boat to the shore went in vain.

Complaint

The boat owner, who has incurred a huge loss, has filed a complaint to Bunder police to trace the miscreants, who had cut the rope of the anchored boat.
