Sri Lanka had released seventy-six Indian fishermen a "goodwill gesture" in late August after Tamil Nadu chief minister Palanisamy, in a letter, urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene.
Detention of Indian fishermen by Lankan authorities is frequent, as they often cross the international maritime boundary.
