India brings 35 Somali pirates to Mumbai to face trial over hijacking of bulk cargo ship | Oneindia
In a decisive move, India has transported 35 captured Somali pirates to Mumbai to face trial, following a daring rescue operation by its navy. The INS Kolkata, spearheading the mission, arrived in the financial hub on Saturday, bringing an end to the harrowing ordeal that began with the hijacking of the Maltese-flagged MV Ruen. The hijacking, which occurred east of Socotra in the northern Arabian Sea in December, marked a concerning resurgence of Somali piracy, being the first successful boarding of a cargo vessel since 2017. India's swift and resolute response not only led to the recapture of the hijacked bulk carrier but also ensured the safe rescue of several hostages. #India #SomaliPirates #MumbaiTrial #MV_RuenHijack #PiracyTrial #NavalRescue #MaritimeSecurity #IndianNavy #AntiPiracyEfforts #LegalJustice #PiracyProsecution #HijackingIncident #InternationalLaw #LegalProceedings #CriminalJustice #NavalIntervention #SomaliPirateTrial #MaritimeSafety #PiracyIncident #LegalAction #CriminalTrials #NauticalJustice #IndianCourts #NavalOperations ~PR.152~ED.103~
