They were fishing at Kajhar Creek along with other fishermen when arrested for stray-ing into the Indian terri- tory,” Kamal Shah of Pakis-tan Fisherfolk Forum told Dawn.

“We were informed about it by the fishermen returning from the sea on Friday, though the incident took place on Wednesday,” he added.—Staff Reporter
