: India has released 67 Pakistani prisoners — including 53 fishermen and 14 civilians — who were handed over to Pakistani officials at the Wagah-Attari border.
Most of them, hailing from Karachi and Sindh’s coastal belt, had spent years in Indian jails after accidentally crossing into Indian waters due to rough seas or technical issues.
The Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, led by First Secretary Tariq Masroor, played a key role in securing their release.
Despite this, data shows Pakistan has freed nearly 600 Indian prisoners in the past five years, while India has released only about 200 Pakistanis since 2021.
