On Monday evening, they crossed into India via the Attari border’s land transit route, according to officials at the Attari border.

They entered india after receiving a ‘Emergency Travel Certificate’ from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.

All of the twenty fishermen were released from Landhi district Jail of Malir, Karachi on completion of their sentences. They were escorted to Lahore by road by Pakistan-based NGO Edhi Foundation.

The moment the fishermen crossed over to India, they knelt and kissed the ground. All were medically examined, including for COVID-19, said the officials.

They will stay for a night here in Amritsar, they said, adding that the fishermen will proceed back home to their native place in Gujarat on Tuesday.

Some of them had undergone around four years of jail term in Pakistan after their arrest by the Pakistani Coast Guards.

They were arrested when their boats slipped into Pakistan through territorial waters in the Arabian Sea.

The fishermen thanked Edhi Foundation which helped them to return home.

Pakistan and India regularly arrest rival fishermen for violating the maritime boundary which is poorly marked at some points.

According to the lists of prisoners exchanged by India and Pakistan at the start of this year, at least 628 Indian prisoners were held in Pakistan, including 51 civilians and 577 fishermen.

India also provided a list of 355 Pakistani detainees in the country, including 282 civilians and 73 fishermen.

When fishermen from Pakistan and India are arrested for fishing illegally in each other’s territorial waters, they usually end up in jail.
