The Coast Guard promptly responded by dispatching a vessel to the location close to the India-Pakistan Maritime Boundary. ICGS Agrim aggressively pursued the Pakistani vessel in a tense two-hour chase. After retrieving all seven fishermen, the Coast Guard ship issued a stern warning to PMS Nusrat, that not at all would it not permit such abduction.
