KARACHI: Pakistan on Friday arrested another 24 Indian fishermen and seized four boats, the maritime security agency said, despite last month announcing the release of all jailed Indian fishermen as a goodwill gesture.

"Some four Indian fishing boats along with 24 crew members were apprehended for poaching well inside Pakistani waters," it said. Pakistan and India frequently arrest and accuse each other's fishermen of violating their respective zones in the Arabian Sea.

Friday's arrests bring to 57 the number of Indian fishermen arrested so far in October, after Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar announced the release of all Indian fishermen when her Indian counterpart SM Krishna visited in September. India, time and again is accused of violating Pakistan's Arabian Sea Waters.
