The Pakistan Maritime Security Agency arrested 61 Indian fishermen who were caught fishing in Pakistani waters in 11 boats.

The fishermen were fishing in Pakistani waters when Maritime Security Agency arrested them and handed them over to the police at the Docks Police Station in Kemari.

The 61 offenders were then taken to a court for custody and will be transported to Malir jail.

This is not the first time that Indian fishermen have violated territorial water boundaries. On September 29, Maritime Security Agency had arrested 25 Indian fishermen and seized their boats for the same offence.

Both Indian and Pakistani fishermen are frequently arrested and detained for fishing in the neighbouring waters.
