On 9 December 1971, Khukri was sailing in the Arabian Sea off the Gujarat Coast in company with another warship INS Kirpan; also an antisubmarine warship. The two frigates were on antisubmarine duties. Pakistani submarines were suspected of having been deployed at Arabian sea.
A few days earlier, the submarine detection instruments on board INS Khukri had detected a submarine and fired a mortar against the underwater contact. This area of the Arabian Sea was somewhat halfway between Karachi and Mumbai. Pakistan navy was mostly based in Karachi port.
