Anti-piracy patrols of Indian Navy
The Indian Navy commenced anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden from October 2008. Since then 43 Indian Naval Ship deployments have been undertaken in the Gulf of Aden. A total of 2906 ships, including 2568 foreign flagged vessels from different countries, have been escorted by Indian Naval ships and 40 piracy attempts have been thwarted since October 2008. No ship under Indian escort has been hijacked by pirates.
According to the Defence Minister Arun Jaitley, about 120 Pirates were apprehended by Indian Navy in East Arabian Sea in 2011. There have been no interceptions/arrests during the last three years and the current year.
At present Yellow Gate Police Station in Mumbai, Maharashtra and Kolkata Police Station in West Bengal have jurisdiction over all the crimes committed in International waters. Ministry of Home Affairs has written to all other Coastal States/Union Territories to notify one Coastal Police Station and one Trial Court each to deal with crimes committed in International waters.
Indian Navy is cooperating with several other Navies in countering piracy in Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.
