They are now in Diu where they are anchored," Inspector General Kuldip Singh Sheoran, Commander Coast Guard Region (North West), told PTI.
Sheoran said that there is nothing suspicious about the trawler which is being monitored by the Indian Coast Guard.
A Coast Guard team is set to board the Chinese trawler tomorrow to find out the number of crew members," Sheoran said.
