India condemns killing of fisherman by US navy officials | Minister of State for External Affairs Preneet Kaur on Wednesday said that the killing of an Indian fisherman off the coast of Dubai was unfortunate, and a probe has been ordered. Addressing mediapersons here, Kaur said that the External
Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna had already called for an investigation, and both
UAE and US authorities were awaiting the final enquiry report. "We deeply regret
the death of Shekhar (the deceased fisherman) and sympathise with the families
of the other three who were injured. Mr. Krishna has already given a statement.
There is an enquiry going on at the moment and both (UAE and US) have said that
we will come to know what the enquiry is,” Kaur said. Earlier on Tuesday, an Indian
fisherman, Shekhar, was killed and three others injured when the USNS Rappahannock
opened fire on a boat in southern Gulf. The US defence officials claimed that
it had ignored the warnings. Early this year, two Italian sailors had shot dead
two Indian fishermen off the coast of Kerala , whom they mistook as pirates.
