KARACHI-
Pakistani marine forces on Thursday arrested 58 Indian fishermen for allegedly violating territorial waters in the Arabian Sea, police said.
“The Maritime Security Agency arrested 58 Indian fishermen,” senior police officer Shiraz Nazir told, adding that the authorities also seized 11 boats.
“They (Indian fishermen) have been handed over to police,” he said.
The agency had arrested 61 Indian fishermen for allegedly violating territorial waters in November.
Such arrests are frequently carried out by both countries, 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.
The fishermen often languish in jail even after serving prison terms, as poor diplomatic ties between the two arch-rivals mean fulfilling official requirements can take a long time.
