KARACHI: At least 66 Indian fishermen were arrested by Pakistan’s marine force on Monday for violating the country’s territorial waters in the Arabian Sea.
According to AFP, Hussain Janwari, a senior police official said Maritime Security Agency (MSA) also captured 10 boats belonging to the fishermen.
“Around 66 fishermen were handed over to police today (on Monday). We have begun legal proceedings and they will be soon presented in a court,” he told AFP.
Pakistan and India frequently carry out such arrests as the maritime border in the Arabian Sea is poorly defined and many fishing boats lack the technology needed to be certain of their precise location.
Setho, a senior prison official, said more than 400 Indian fishermen were currently facing in Karachi.
