The Navy’s decision to destroy a pirate mother ship is now being questioned by a Thai national who says the ship sunk last Tuesday in the Gulf of Aden actually belonged to him.
The Navy spokesman has told NDTV that the Navy ship fired in self defence, after armed pirates on board the unidentified ship threatened to blow up the ship and then fired at the Indian ship.
The Thai national has apparently admitted that the ship was under pirates control and that of the 16 crew members, one is confirmed dead, and others still missing.
