KARACHI: Another Pakistani inmate, a fisherman by profession, has died in Indian jail, confirmed a spokesperson for Fishermen’s Co-operative Society on Thursday.
The deceased, Mohammad Sohail Rasheed, was taken captive by Indian forces on October 2, 2016 after accidentally forging into Indian waters, the spokesperson said.
A resident of Karachi's Muhammadi Colony, Sohail is the fourth Pakistani to die in Indian jail within a span of just one month.
