Mumbai: The Akhil Maharashtra Fishermen Association has alleged that an ONGC surveillance boat shot a fisherman on the high seas.
The association claimed that the incident took place near Uttan on Sunday evening. An ONGC helicopter airlifted the injured fisherman and took him to a nearby hospital. However, ONGC has denied these claims saying that they don't have any surveillance boat.
