23 Indian Fishermen Freed from Bangladesh Jail

Twenty-three Indian fishermen were released from a jail in Bangladesh on January 23, 2024.

They were arrested in October 2023 for entering Bangladeshi waters illegally.

The fishermen were taken to Mongla and are being transported back to India by the Indian Coast Guard.

The release was overseen by officials from both the Indian and Bangladeshi governments.

The fishermen's families had spent a lot of money on legal fees and other expenses to secure their release.

One of the fishermen, Surada, has a wife, Anitha, who gave birth to a baby boy in December while he was in jail.

The fishermen are now on their way home.
