KARACHI: Pakistan arrested 60 Indian fishermen after they strayed into its waters, an official said on Friday.
According to police official Lateef Babar, the Maritime Security Agency (MSA) made the arrests on Thursday morning, and also impounded 10 wooden boats.
“The men would be taken to the court on Saturday from where they would be sent to jail,” he added.
Dozens of Indian and Pakistani fishermen are captured in the Arabian Sea each year after straying across the maritime borders.
They often rot in prison even after serving their sentences, as poor diplomatic relations between the bitter nuclear foes hamper bureaucracy.
Earlier this month, Pakistan released 219 Indian fishermen as a ‘goodwill’ gesture.
