KARACHI: A group of Pakistani fishermen saved the life of an abandoned man, apparently a Chinese citizen, floating in the Arabian Sea near the Karachi coast.
As per the details, the fishermen on board their fishing trawler, Al-Madina, were on a fishing expedition when they spotted a bright orange object floating in the sea near the creek areas of the city.
On using their binoculars, the Karachi fishermen realized that it was a person wearing a life jacket floating in the sea.
Meanwhile, Nakhuda (boat captain) Haji Abdullah decided to save the life of the person and turned the direction of his boat and fished out the man from the water.
Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum’s (PFF) Kamal Shah said, “He looked Chinese and what he was saying, though he couldn’t talk much, also sounded like Chinese.”
He maintained that perhaps he fell off a fishing trawler owned by some Chinese company, adding that it looks like he had been trying to keep himself afloat since Tuesday night.
The fishermen gave him a blanket to keep him warm and juice to help him get his lost energy back but he did not drink much.
Later, the fishermen handed him over to the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency.
