Pakistani authorities are expected to release on Friday (May 12) 199 Indian fishermen arrested for allegedly fishing illegally in the country’s waters, despite the death of an Indian civilian who was to be repatriated with them.


Kazi Nazir, a top police official in the jail and corrections department in Sindh, said that they had been told by relevant government ministries to prepare for the release and repatriation of 199 fishermen on Friday. These fishermen— currently  lodged at the Landhi jail—will be sent to Lahore and handed over to Indian authorities at the Wagah border.
