According to a spokesperson for the Fishermen’s Cooperative Society, another Pakistani fisherman has died in an Indian jail.

The fisherman identified as Mohammad Sohail, was taken into custody by Indian forces on October 2, 2016, after he accidentally crossed into Indian waters.

Sohail, a resident of Muhammadi Colony in Karachi, is the fourth Pakistani to die in an Indian jail in a span of one month.

The reason behind Sohail’s death is unknown and  it would take some days before his body is brought back to Pakistan.

The spokesperson added that at least 108 Pakistani fishermen are still imprisoned in jails across India. Earlier this month, a fisherman named Noorul Amin succumbed to his injuries after being subjected to torture.
