Three missing fishermen, who had remained untraced while fishing at Kendodwip area in Sunderbans since April 7, today returned to their homes.
A senior police officer said the fishermen would be later asked about their whereabouts once they recovered from the stress.
An office-bearer of the West Bengal United Fishermen Association had said the three, part of a 28-member group from Basanti and Jharkhali areas, were fishing in three trawlers on Wednesday night but did not return the following morning.
However, 25 of them came back later on in the trawlers but there was no news about the rest three.
The association had filed a complaint at the Sunderbans Coastal Police station on April 9.
"We got unconfirmed reports that the three have been held captive by Bangladeshi pirates for hefty ransom," the Association office-bearer said earier.
