The vessel, which was carrying bitumen from Iraq, had a total of 17 crew members: 14 Indians, two Syrians, and one Pakistani, with an Indian captain in command. Acting on firm instructions from Police Inspector Nischal Kumar, the Pakistani and Syrian nationals were barred from disembarking, citing the ongoing strain in diplomatic ties between India and Pakistan.
