New Delhi, August 15: In yet another success in its anti-piracy operations, the Indian Navy successfully captured a hijacked ship, MV Nafis-1, off the Mumbai coast on Monday.
As per reports, the Indian Navy had kept the Iranian flagged Nafis under surveillance since August 12. During checking, two AK-47 rifles and one pistol was recovered from the ship.
Nafis is said to have been missing for more than five months with Sharjah being its last known port of call, from where it sailed to an undisclosed location.
Intelligence reports suggest that Nafis may have been used for smuggling operations.
