KARACHI – At least 22 Indian fishermen with 7 boats were arrested by Maritime Security Agency (MSA) here on midnight between Friday and Saturday for violating the Pakistani territorial waters.
A spokesman of MSA told APP here Saturday that the fishermen have been handed over to the Docks Police after initial investigation.
“The fishermen are warned by the MSA before seizing their boats for penetrating deep inside our territory,” he pointed out.
Violation of 7 to 8 nautical miles remains tolerable and they are warned to return back, but 50 to 60 nautical is gross violation of territory and only then their boats are seized with fishermen, he maintained.
