ENRICA LEXIE- AN INDO-ITALIAN DIPLOMATIC TANGLE

(MY FIRST IN THE NEW YEAR. FEELS SORRY THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS UNFORTUNATE SITUATION WHICH HAS TAKEN AWAY THE LIVES OF TWO INNOCENT INDIAN BROTHERS) India was shocked to wake up and learn that two Indian national fishermen was shot top death by gunmen from a foreign ship. A news that shocked the entire nation. What  followed was a meticulous investigation by Indian Security Agencies, carefully perusing through the data to identify and pinpoint the guilty from thousands of ships that pass through possibly the busiest sea line in the world. After careful and meticulous perusal, finally Indians were able to pinpoint the ship, an Italian Oil Tanker, "Enrica Lexie". What has followed has been a carefully calibrated diplomatic and strategic move on the part of India to bring the guilty to justice.  THE INDIAN VERSION India says that the shooting took place in Indian waters and hence India has the right to take up the case and conduct trial as per Indian laws.
