The arrested fishermen were handed over to police for legal proceedings, Xinhua reported. Pakistan and India routinely arrest fishermen on charges of entering each other’s waters as the maritime boundaries between the two countries were poorly defined and many fishing boats lack technologies on locating their precise places.
