Karachi: Pakistan on Sunday released second batch of 100 prisoners who were held for fishing illegally in the country's territorial waters in the Arabian Sea.

Pakistan earlier had said it would release total 360 Indian prisoners as goodwill gesture.

Last Sunday, it freed the first batch of 100 Indian prisoners from Karachi.

Pakistani and Indian maritime agencies frequently arrest each other's fishermen on charges of illegal fishing.

The detainees often languish in prison until such goodwill gestures are shown from either sides.
