Havelock, November 05: Havelock Police has arrested one boat operator and two tourist agents namely Dipankar Biswas, Manoranjan Das and Sribas Das, all residents of Neil Island, for illegally transporting eight tourists from Havelock to Neil Island.
It is reported that these tourists were disembarked at Radha Nagar Beach, Havelock yesterday afternoon by the aforesaid boat operator and tour agents after which they escaped from the spot.
On receipt of information, the Havelock Police investigated the matter and arrested the aforesaid persons for unsafe navigation and instigating the tourists to avail unauthorised boat to travel.
The tourists were not having return ticket to Port Blair from Neil Island.
It might have become a new business of the tour agents to earn money because the administration has recently restricted the entry of the tourists in Neil Islands who are not having return tickets.
