Ahmedabad, Feb 18 (IANS) Coast Guard Director Inspector General (DIG) B.K. Loshali Wednesday refuted media reports saying that he ordered the blowing up of a suspected Pakistani boat on the intervening night of Dec 31 and Jan 1 off Porbandar in Gujarat.

Addressing a press conference here, the officer said media reports quoting him as saying that he ordered that the suspected boat be blasted were wrong and not factual.

A media report had quoted Loshali as saying "Blow the boat off... We don't want to serve them biryani...".
