Indians saved Pakistani officers

Ahmedabad, April 12: Captured by Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) personnel who illegally entered Indian waters, Indian fishermen did not dither in saving their tormentors after one of the Pakistani boats capsized off the Gujarat coast in the Arabian Sea on Sunday.

The captured Indian fishermen, who were being taken to Karachi, saved two PMSA officers after one of the small fast Pakistani boats collided with an Indian fishing boat and capsized in Indian waters, sources said.



The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) retrieved the bodies of three of the four other Pakistani personnel who drowned in the incident and returned them to PMSA, they said.

Meanwhile, the PMSA released seven boats and around 60 fishermen last night as a reciprocal gesture for saving the lives of Pakistani officers, National Fishworkers Forum secretary Manish Lodhari said.
