Five Indian fishermen, along with one mechanised boat, were detained by the Sri Lankan Navy on Thursday, while they were fishing near the Delft Island.
The fishermen belong to Tamil Nadu's Rameswaram.
They have been taken to Sri Lanka's Kankesanthurai naval camp, and are under investigation.
Further details are awaited.
