Three Pakistani fishermen were nabbed today by the Border Security Force (BSF) officials along with their fishing boat from the Harami Nalla creek area in Gujarat's Kutch district.

The fishermen, identified as Sher Ali, Saddam Hussain and Ali Mohammad, had ventured into the Indian waters in the Arabian Sea on their boat, BSF officials said, adding that the trio were apprehended along with a fishing boat this afternoon.

The boat with fishing equipment has been seized while the fishermen have been handed over to the local police.

They are now in the custody of Dayapar police station officials in the district, the officials added.

It is known that a Pakistani fisherman was apprehended with a fishing boat from near the same area in the sea off the Gujarat coast a fortnight ago.
