MUMBAI: The remains of Indian prisoner Dadubhai Makwana, who died in Karachi jail July 4, were flown to Mumbai last Thursday, a full 21 days after his death. A special ambulance despatched by the Gujarat fisheries department transported the body to his native village for the last rites.
Dadubhai, a 41-year-old fisherman from Ghatwad village near Kodinar, was arrested by the Pakistani Coast Guard as he unwittingly trespassed into their territory during a fishing trip last year.
"Since then we have been trying to secure his freedom even as we helped his family with a subsistence allowance of Rs 150 per day. However, we learnt that Dadubhai died in Karachi prison July 4, allegedly of a heart attack," said Gujarat fisheries official J K Rathod.
Rathod and his assistant K K Masani took possession of the corpse at Sahar police station before beginning the 17-hour journey home. "Dadubhai's wife and four children back home in Kodinar are doubly distressed by his sudden death as well as the delay in repatriating his remains," they said.
Indo-Pak peace activist Jatin Desai lamented the delay and said the governments of India and Pakistan should expedite the procedure. "Earlier, the body of Indian fisherman Ramjibhai Vala took 45 days to be returned while that of Pakistani fisherman Nawaz Ali was sent home after 25 days," he said.
