• Three Namkhana fishermen, Tapan Mahapatra, Kashinath Mandal, and Dilip Bag, have been imprisoned in Pakistan for two and a half years.
• Families in Bengal are anxious as all communication, including phone calls and letters, has ceased.
• The fishermen were detained by the Pakistan Coast Guard while fishing in a trawler off Gujarat.
