Coast Guard officials say the GPS found on Kuber confirmed four waypoints-route maps that point to Karachi, Porbander, Diu and the Mumbai coast. The Diu angle needs to be probed, sources said, to explore whether some persons were offloaded there before the trawler reached Mumbai or “halted to escape vigil.”

Investigators are zeroing in on the 14 days after Kuber left Porbander with 2000 litres of diesel on November 13 and before it was found by the Coast Guard on November 27 to track its sea route. The distance between Karachi and the Mumbai coast is 569 nautical miles which can be covered in four days.

Kuber was first tracked down after Azam Ameer Qasab, the lone terrorist arrested alive by the Mumbai police, told interrogators that a trawler with a Porbander registration was used. Immediately, a Dornier and a Chetak were flown out. It was the Chetak which found Kuber with the body of Amarsinh Solanki, the skipper of the trawler, on board. The trawler was owned by Vinod Masani.
