Indian fishermen

A judicial magistrate remanded on Saturday 61 Indian fishermen in prison for fishing in Pakistani waters.

The maritime security agency detained the fishermen along with 11 fishing vessels after finding them catching fish inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of Pakistan and handed them over to the police for legal action.

The fishermen were produced before Judicial Magistrate (west) Ashfaq Awan and he sent them to jail on 14-day judicial remand.

They were booked under Sections 3/4 of the Foreigners Act and 3/9 of the Fisheries Act at the Docks police station.
