According to an official statement, the swift sea-air coordinated operation involved ships and aircraft of the ICG.

Initial investigation revealed that the owner of the boat was an Iranian sponsor, who had contracted these Indian fishermen from Tamil Nadu, and issued them Iranian visas for fishing off the Iran coast.
