Navi Mumbai, July 28 -- Three fishermen from Uran went missing on Saturday after their boat capsized in the Arabian Sea near Khanderi Fort off the Raigad coast due to strong waves. Eight fishermen set out to sea in the boat, and five of them managed to reach the shore, said a police officer. According to the police, the incident occurred at 7am on Saturday when eight fishermen allegedly set out to sea in a boat for fishing from Karanjade port in Uran, despite a state-wide fishing ban having been imposed till August 31 due to the monsoon. The boat encountered strong waves while returning and overturned, the officer said. Five of the eight men managed to swim to the shore with the help of plastic water bottles and tubes as makeshift flotation aids while three of them remain untraced, said Assistant Police Inspector Somnath Lande of Mandva Coastal police. The police have identified the missing fishermen as Naresh Ram Shelar, Dheeraj Koli, and Mukesh Yashwant Patil.
