Summary The 60 men would be taken to the court on Saturday
KARACHI (AFP) - At least 60 Indian fishermen were detained on Thursday morning after they strayed into its waters, an official reported on Friday.
The Maritime Security Agency (MSA) made the arrests Thursday morning, and also impounded 10 wooden boats, police official Lateef Babar said.
The 60 men would be taken to the court on Saturday from where they would be sent to jail, he added.
Dozens of Indian and Pakistani fishermen are captured in the Arabian Sea each year after straying across maritime borders.
Pakistan earlier this month released 219 Indian fishermen as a goodwill gesture.
But overall relations between India and Pakistan have plummeted since a deadly attack on an Indian army base in the Occupied Kashmir in September.
There have since been repeated violations of ceasefire by Indian troops at the Line of Control (LoC) claiming dozens of lives and damaging schools, mosques and other installations.
