Rangat, Oct 20: In a shocking incident, exhibiting highest level of cruelness and insensitivity towards fellow human beings, crew members of an unidentified cargo vessel, had almost killed three fishermen of Rangat Bay area.

According to these fishermen, the unknown cargo vessel rammed and crushed their fishing boat recently and escaped from the crime scene. All three fishermen jumped off to safety and clung on to an Ice Box for almost 30 minutes before being rescued by fellow fishermen.

“They ran away and did not feel necessary to save three human beings, who were about to die,” alleged one of the fishermen.

Things happened so fast that these fishermen could not note the name or any other details about the cargo vessel. “That was a big cargo vessel and we can identify it easily,” he said.

These fishermen have already lodged a complaint in Rangat Police Station but they are yet to get any answer.

Fishermen now fear that as the owner of cargo vessels are usually rich guys, police will take this case to lightly and they would probably never get justice.
“The Police Department must register a case of attempt to murder in this regard and the DGP must direct the Police Station to trace out the cargo vessel and book all the crew members,” said a relative of one of the fishermen.
