KARACHI: 66 Indian fishermen were arrested by
Maritime Security Agency for violating the territorial waters in the Arabian Sea.
Maritime Security Agency has taken their 11 boats in its custody.
As per details, they were violating the
maritime boundaries. The arrested fishermen will be handed over to Docks police in
Karachi. Fishermen are frequently arrested along with their boats by both
India and Pakistan, as the
maritime border in the Arabian Sea is poorly defined.
According to Indian media, the fishermen are from the Saurashtra region. Both countries also use release of fishermen to express goodwill from time to time.
