An Indian fisherman, who was languishing in the Karachi jail even after completion of his sentence, has died, official sources said on Friday.<\/p>\n

The fisherman identified as Babu died Thursday, they said.<\/p>\n

He is the eighth Indian fisherman who died in Pakistan in last two years, the sources said.<\/p>\n

“Babu was arrested by Pakistani authorities in 2022. Despite completion of his sentence and confirmation of his Indian nationality, he was not released by Pakistan authorities,” said a source.<\/p>\n

One-hundred-eighty Indian fishermen who have completed their sentences await release from Pakistani jail, the sources said.<\/p>\n
