On the other hand, looking at the way that country has been acting in the Bay of Bengal for the past few months, it is clear that it is provoking India. This is being strengthened by the fact that the fishing boats of that country are often entering Indian maritime waters and the Bangladesh Navy is increasing its patrols in the region like never before. Alleging that they had entered their territorial waters, the Indian boat carrying 16 fishermen was rammed by the Bangladesh Navy personnel and they were all thrown into the sea. The Indian Coast Guard personnel reached the spot immediately and rescued 11 people. Five others are still missing. While the survivors of this accident say that it is a Bangladeshi boat, the Bangladeshi authorities claim that their patrol boat is 12 miles away from the incident site. There have been discussions. Since then, Bangladesh's relations with India have been on the decline. At the same time it is gradually getting closer to Pakistan.
