KARACHI: Pakistan has arrested 20 Indian fishermen for violating the territorial waters of the country, its maritime security agency said Sunday.
The Indian fishermen were arrested and brought to Karachi early Sunday morning. Their boats were also seized. “We are preparing documents to produce all of them in court tomorrow,” police official Fida Hussain said.Both Indian and Pakistani fishermen are frequently detained on the charge, as the two countries’ borders are not clearly defined in the Arabian Sea and many fishing boats lack the technology needed to be certain of their precise location. Many are sent to jail before being handed over to the authorities in their homeland.
