Fifteen Indian fishermen from Sharjah who strayed into Iranian waters and were placed under arrest have been released after six months and are flying home. The Indian Consulate has offered to fly them home. Vipul, the Indian Consul-General to the UAE, told TV channels from India  “We learnt of this group of fishermen who had inadvertently strayed into Iranian waters in December 2016. Our consulate in Bandar Abbas had intervened on their behalf and everyone’s efforts paid off when the group was released on May 28. Since none of them has earned anything for the last six months, we at the Indian Consulate decided to raise funds to fly them home.
