The Maritime Security Agency (MSA) on Saturday arrested 20 more Indian fishermen for fishing in Pakistani waters.
The Indian fishermen were arrested by the MSA while they were fishing in Pakistani limits of the Arabian Sea, reports Dawn.
An official at the Docks Police Station said four fishing boats pf the fishermen have been seized by the MSA. He added that the fishermen would be produced before the court.
The official said a case under Sections 3/4 of the Foreigners Act and 3/9 of the Fishery Act was registered for the offence against the Indian fishermen.
The arrest comes a week after the MSA authorities had arrested 88 fishermen of the neighbouring country while they were fishing in Pakistani territorial limits of the sea.
