'I Love Pakistan' Message Found on Vessel at Cochin Shipyard; Police Investigate

Analysed 19 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·Pakistan·Politics
'I Love Pakistan' Message Found on Vessel at Cochin Shipyard; Police InvestigatePreviousNext

A message reading 'I Love Pakistan' was found etched inside a vessel undergoing maintenance at Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) in Kerala. The shipyard's security wing conducted a preliminary inquiry before reporting the matter to Kochi City Police, who are investigating by recording employee statements and examining records. No CCTV footage is available. Given CSL's strategic importance in building naval assets, central agencies may also investigate. Previous security breaches at CSL have raised concerns.
