India's Deputy Inspector General of the Coast Guard on Wednesday denied reports which said that he had admitted to have ordered for a Pakistani boat to be blown up in the Arabian Sea on New Year's eve, a report published on the Times of India website said.
A report published on the Indian Express website, earlier during the day, had quoted Coast Guard DIG B.K. Loshali as saying “Let me tell you,” he said, “I hope you remember 31st December night… we blew off that Pakistan… We have blown them off… I was there at Gandhinagar and I told at night, blow the boat off. We don’t want to serve them biryani…”

The claim in the Indian Express report was in sharp contrast to New Delhi's official position which had been adamant that the boat had 'suspected terror links' and that the crew had committed suicide by setting the vessel on fire.
A video circulating on social media corroborated the report published on the Indian Express website and shows the DIG Coast Guards making the above mentioned statements during the launching ceremony of a boat.
Loshali later issued a rejoinder which rejected the media report terming it as 'not factual' and denied making any such claim.

India to probe officer's claim that coast guard blew up boat
India's defence minister said Wednesday he will investigate the coast guard officer's comment that Indian coast guards had destroyed a Pakistani “terror boat” late last year, contradicting the ministry's position that the men on board had blown up their own boat.
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said the ministry stood by its statement of early January that the boat had been destroyed by the men on board. Parikkar said he would discipline the officer if an inquiry proved he had made the remarks.
Indian officials had earlier claimed that Coast Guard ships and aircraft had tried to intercept the boat near the maritime border with Pakistan, around 365 kilometres from the coastal state of Gujarat, following an intelligence tip-off.

The claim had added that the boat initially tried to escape but was forced to stop after warning shots were fired, following which crew members set the boat on fire which led to the explosion.
After the boat had sunk, the Indian Coast Guards were praised by their Defence Minister for what he called doing "the right thing at the right time" — based on "clear, specific Indian intelligence".
There had been suggestions that the vessel seemed to be on a routine smuggling trip when it was intercepted. Further doubts had been raised over the official version of the episode with many questioning the capability of the small boat to outrun Indian interceptors.
India duplicitous in bid for peace: Khawaja Asif
Pakistan reacted sharply to the disclosure of Indian DIG Coast Guard BK Loshal's statement that the attack on the Pakistani boat on 31 December was carried out by the Indian Coast Guard.
"It has once again been proven that India has violated international rules and disregarded the humanitarian considerations," Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said in a statement.
The defence minister called upon the international community to take notice of the incident, which, it has been said, is tearing off India’s veil of being a peaceful country in the region.
The minister went on to say that India not only imposed baseless and false allegations on Pakistan before like in the case of Samjota Express, but were involved in treacherously killing four innocent lives on board this boat.
"India has once again proved to be heinous in its face, design and urge for peace," Khawaja Asif remarked.
Asif said that Loshali has contradicted the Indian government’s statement by saying that the Pakistani boat was attacked by Indian Coast Guard.
Loshali was quoted as saying: "We blew off that Pakistani boat. We have blown them off…I was at Gandhinagar and I was told at night, blow the boat off".
The defence minister reiterated that Pakistan’s desire for peace and coexistence in the region must not be seen as our weakness.

Inspite of instructions from the Coast guard to stop the boat for inspection, the boat sped away. The coast guard even fired warning shots to stop the boat. If the boat did not stop even after that and continued speeding for more than an hour, that itself proves that there is a high probability that it could have been a terrorist boat. Lets ask Pakistani coast guard what they would do in such a situation.

@Bharat even if I agree with your point, do you really think that they burn the board (in other words a suicide attack?). If that would have their end plan, they could have wait for the Indian officers to come near or into the boat and then blew it away...also if they were terrorist then I assume that they were carrying some guns and could have fired back (if they are ready to die as your media/officer told you then they would be ready to kill few of the Indian officers as well I assume) but I don't see a single report on that (or someone injured or some bullet hit the boat). I am not saying who they were as I was not there but a high probability is that they were some lost fishermen.

If it was simply a smugglers boat which was drown by Indians, seems okay. Problem is they were claiming it as high target terrorist mission and defense minister was jumped to congratulate, and it was said that it was done because of high level secrete attack information. Finally it was found that unknown smugglers no body knows either Pakistani, Indians, Seri Lankans or Iranian were smuggling oil. What a poor performance and poorly cover up

People are going on different tangents.
The questions to be asked are-
1- where is the report from both the governments post the incident.
2- why has the video been release via media.
3- why now
These kind of breaking news always happens when the govt from either of the sides has a scam and used as a diversionary topic, so that the common citizens are taken for a ride.
Or, it can also because the so called developed countries don't want any development to happen in South Asia / Indian sub-continent.

People saying those were fishermen should b reminded this, when incident took place some fishermens organisation/union or whatever it was had said it will check if any fishermen are missing. None of fishermen have gone missing from Pakistan side since the incidence. This clearly shows they were not fishermen, so that makes it clear that they were some mischeveous elements(most probably terrorists). And such elements need to be treated with iron hand. Good job Coast guards for guarding so well.

If no one in Pakistan is missing or killed by Indian coast guard, or reported anywhere, why Pakistan has to worry about any sort of news. How do they even know that it was Pakistan boat, not some Indian boat going to Pakistan o something like that. Why it is news in Pakistan, if no one seems to be killed or missing due to that incident?

Either the boat was set on fire by it's passengers or the Indian coast guard; one thing is clear that there was one boat that was not obeying command to stop for investigation. Who own that boat is a different issue.

Indian Officer's poor performance on launch of a boat and a crime committed with proclaimed honor. They could have been poor fishermen, as is the case usually a lot of them are arrested but released more frequently by Pakistan than India. Pak Navy never retaliated means they have better control over their nerves and more disciplined than Indian counterpart, vividly displayed in this clip. The govt. should probe and punish this officer as having decided to blow the boat without investigating.
