Giving them a shock of their lifetime, a man from nowhere climbed onto the boat of some fishermen in the sea, 71 miles off the Chilika coast.
While nothing much can be known about the man, the marine police is waiting for the boat staff and fishermen to bring him back to Paradip today.
The incident occurred on Wednesday night when a boat from Paradip anchored in the sea and the fishermen were fishing. All of a sudden, the boat staff spotted a man climbing onto the boat.
They were all taken aback because there was no other boat in the vicinity, nor any island.
While the boat staff and the fishermen suspect him to have been washed into the sea and a helpless person, the possibility of him to be an infiltrator can’t be ruled out.
As per the latest information available, the boat staff are not able to understand the language the youth is speaking.
Till the last report came in, the fishermen were on their way to the Paradip port along with the unidentified man.
More details awaited.
