Diesel smugglers give Mumbai cops the slip during boat chase

On November 23, three days before the ninth anniversary of the devastating 26/11 attacks, the Mumbai police spotted a suspicious boat in the dark sea. What followed was a chase to catch those on the vessel, which had to be cut short after the boat made its way past a bridge. However, unlike 26/11, this wasn't a boat full of terrorists, but one with members of a diesel smuggling ring.

Five cops on duty in Mumbai police's speedboat Mumbai-9 on Nov 23 spot a suspicious boat around 8 pm. Cops then flash a light, asking those on the vessel to stop and show their papers
