Indian fishermen arrested by Pakistan

Karachi, Jan 20: Police said here today that seventeen Indian fishermen have been arrested for allegedly fishing in Pakistani waters.
A court here remanded them to custody on Saturday.
"These fishermen were handed over to us by the Maritime Security last night for further legal process," he said, adding that most of the fishermen belonged to Gujarat.
The arrests come after the release of 145 Indian fishermen on December 28.
An official of the Pakistan Maritime Security Force said that since late November the number of Indian fishermen detained for fishing in Pakistani waters was around 185.
A total of 438 Indian fishermen were released in 12 days time in December 2016-January 2017 by the Pakistani authorities from the Landhi and Malir jails in Karachi.
Pakistan and India frequently arrest fishermen as there is no clear demarcation of the maritime border in the Arabian Sea and these fishermen do not have boats equipped with the technology to know their precise location. UNI
