Porbandar: Twenty-three Indian fishermen were apprehended and four boats seized near the international maritime boundary line (IMBL) off Jakhau coast in Kutch district in Gujarat by Pakistan maritime agencies, said a fishermen's outfit functionary.
Porbandar Fishermen Boat Association president Jivan Jungi said, of the four boats, two had set sail from Porbandar a few days ago, while one each was registered in Okha and Veraval.
"We have learnt that 23 Indian fishermen on four boats have been apprehended mid-sea by Pakistan Maritime Security Agency near the international maritime boundary line (IMBL) in the Arabian sea off Jakhau coast of Kutch district on Friday.
The fishermen will be taken to Karachi Port," said Jungi. Indian fishermen are often captured by Pakistan agencies who accuse them of straying into the territorial waters of that country.

Jabalpur (PTI): Residents of a village in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur district set ablaze a liquor shop after the body of an 8-year-old girl was found in a lake, a police official has said.
Irate villagers, including the mother of the victim, alleged she was raped, murdered and her body thrown into the lake by a person or group of persons who had liquor at the vend, which was set on fire on Tuesday night, the official said.
"The girl's body was found on Tuesday night. A short post-mortem suggests she was physically assaulted," Jabalpur (Rural) Additional Superintendent of Police Sonali Dubey told PTI over the phone.
"The situation is under control. Police have been deployed in the village to maintain law and order. Her short post-mortem was conducted on Thursday. We are awaiting the detailed autopsy report. We are investigating whether a single person or a group committed the crime and whether she was murdered and the body thrown into the lake," Dubey said.
Some suspects have been picked up and are being questioned, the Additional SP said.
Meanwhile, MP Congress chief Jitu Patwari claimed that crime has been at a 30-year high under Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
"The people of Jabalpur must teach the BJP a lesson for such a state of affairs. CM Yadav must speak on this incident," Patwari said.
