New Delhi has demanded immediate release of captured Indian Fishermen by Pakistan Maritime Security Agency

Pakistan’s Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) has detained an Indian fishing vessel, Nar Narayan, near the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL) off Gujarat’s Porbandar coast. The boat, carrying eight fishermen—seven from Gujarat and one from Maharashtra—was reportedly operating in a restricted zone when PMSA personnel allegedly opened fire, injuring one crew member. The vessel was seized and taken toward Pakistan. Official sources confirmed that Indian authorities, including the Indian Coast Guard and the Ministry of External Affairs, have conveyed a strong protest to Islamabad over the incident. New Delhi has demanded the immediate release of the detained fishermen and their boat, terming the firing unprovoked and in violation of established maritime protocols. The matter has also been raised through diplomatic channels, with the Indian side emphasizing the need to ensure the safety of Indian fishermen and avoid such confrontations near the IMBL.
