Right decision..It created adverse comments by the media...That the Pakistanis blew their own boat on being caught by Indian authorities seems plausible!

DIG BK Loshali has been dismissed from the Indian Coast Guard. Loshali had claimed that he had ordered the Pakistani boat to be 'blown off' on the night of December 31, 2014.
Loshali who was court martialed for his controversial remarks regarding the Pakistan boat that was blown up off the Porbandar coast on the night of December 31, 2014.
The probe against Loshali, carried out by a three-member team, had found "substance to believe' that he contradicted the government's stand that the boat "blew itself off'.
A Pakistani boat with "four persons' was intercepted off the Gujarat coast on the night of December 31. A release issued by the government had said that "the crew hid themselves below the deck compartment and set the boat on fire, which resulted in explosion and major fire on the boat.'
However, Loshali, who was serving as Chief of Staff at the time, said on February 16 that he had ordered the boat to be blown off. I hope you remember 31st December night. We blew off that Pakistan boat I was there at Gandhinagar and I told at night, blow the boat off. We dont want to serve them biryani, Loshali had told a gathering of Coast Guard officials and staff from Larsen & Toubro during the launch of interceptor boat ICGS C-421.
