The BSF patrol chased them and seized one Pakistani fishing boat around 100 meters inside the Indian territory near border pillar no. 1160, it said. The Harami Nala creek separates India and Pakistan. Its marshy terrain is the home of many varieties of fish and attracts fishermen from the neighbouring country.
