The body of a 53-year-old fisherman from Gujarat's Gir Somnath district finally reached his native town on Monday, nearly 45 days after his death in a Pakistani jail, an official said.

A 47-year-old fisherman from Porbandar, who was allegedly caught by Pakistan Marine Security Agency (MSA) last year off Gujarat coast, died in a Karachi-based jail in Pakistan due to Tuberculosis or TB, a National Fishworkers Forum leader said today.

The wife of an Indian fisherman, who died in a Pakistan jail last month, has raised question over delay in informing Indian authorities about the death.

A 60-year-old Indian fisherman who had completed his prison term and was awaiting release has died at a local hospital in Pakistan's biggest city.
