According to details, 30-year-old Dev, son of Basu, was arrested by the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency in March and since then he was imprisoned in Malir Jail.
His body has been taken to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre where a post-mortem will be conducted on Friday in the presence of a magistrate to ascertain the nature of his death.
Earlier in the day at least 58 Indian fishermen were arrested for violating Pakistan’s maritime boundary, Express News reported.
Security forces also confiscated about 10 boats from them.
Both Indian and Pakistani fishermen are frequently arrested and detained for fishing in the neighbouring waters.
As recent as November 29, authorities had released 36 Indian fishermen from Karachi’s Malir district jail after they had served their sentence.

@Hilarious: Yup.. pretty much what Indians know to do best in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
These poor fishermen have very little understanding of where the national boundaries lie in the waters. They have no instrumenst which would tell them if they are tresspassing. They thus become pawns in the India-Pakistan rivalry and get arrested causing immense hardships to their families. IMHO they should be caught and searched, detained for a few days and warned not to do this again.
What's so mysterious? Is it so difficult to figure out that Pakistanis do what they know best - brutalising helpless victims.
