Pakistan has handed over the remains of a fisherman from Gujarat, while his family continues to wait for the release of his detained son.
Pakistan has repatriated the body of a fisherman who hailed from Gujarat, delivering the remains to his relatives in India through official channels. The handover marks a rare instance of cross‑border cooperation amid ongoing tensions between the two neighbours.
The fisherman's family, still grieving, has also been vocal about the detention of his son, who remains in custody in Pakistan. They have appealed to both governments for his prompt release, describing the situation as a painful continuation of their ordeal.
Indian diplomatic officials confirmed that the repatriation was completed in accordance with standard procedures, and they are monitoring the case of the detained son closely. No further details on the circumstances of the fisherman's death or the son's case were disclosed at this time.
