Sagar Sevak seized off Mumbai
The Indian police arrested two persons and seized the "Sagar Sevak", anchored off the Mumbai coast, being used as a floating petrol pump for smuggling diesel in the city. The information gained of the two led to the ship anchored eight nautical miles from the city coast and used as a floating petrol bunk. It was raided and seized on May 22, 2011. No oil was stored on the ship at the time of the raid. Usually the diesel is illegally pumped into the containers from other ships arriving at the Mumbai coast in connivance with their captains and are kept aboard the "Sagar Sevak". During the night, the accused duo would go to the ship and shift the containers containing diesel to their boats and bring them to the shores and sell it at a throwaway price to fishermen. The "Sagar Sevak" has been given the permission by the Bombay Port Trust to be stationed near the Mumbai coast. The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited in the past used the vessel to store logistics for its men, however, for the last eight months no such activity was carried out by the ONGC on the vessel.
