Seventy-eight Indian fishermen who were imprisoned in a Karachi jail returned to India after being released by Pakistan.
Pakistan, in a goodwill gesture, had handed over the 78 prisoners to the Border Security Force (BSF) at a joint check post at Wagah border.
The Indian fishermen were arrested in May last year when their boats entered Pakistan’s waters in an area of the Arabian Sea where they were caught by the coast guards.
They crossed over through the land transit route on the basis of Emergency Travel Certificates (ETC) issued by the Indian High Commission based in Islamabad.
