The fishermen were apprehended by Sri Lankan Navy around midnight yesterday, he said.
As the Lankan Naval personnel turned down the fishermen's plea to let them go, 35-year-old Sarath allegedly broke a glass bottle in the boat and swallowed the pieces, he said.
The fisherman had been admitted to a government hospital in Triconamalee in Eastern Sri Lanka, he added.
