4 months after his death, Mr. Fisherman’s body finally arrived at home

Nagpur: Amir Hamza, a Pakistani fisherman was arrested in Indian waters by the coast guard about four years ago, brought in prison in Bhuj in Gujarat.
When his family hoped that one day he could return through one of the goutwill repatriations from both parties, Hamza died in prison in June.
The death certificate issued by the Government Gujarat said the date of registration of his death as September 9 but Hamza died on June 13, the same certificate said.
Fana remains were sent back four months later on September 15.
His body was taken to his house in Karachi, more than 1,200 km from the wagi border.
Toi has access to documents related to Hamza from both sides.
The death certificate issued by the Gujarat government’s health department said that Hamza died at the Bhuj civil hospital on June 13.
Emergency passports were issued in the name of Hamza by the Pakistani government to facilitate his body crossover from the plague.
The Ministry of Home Affairs in Pakistan wrote to the prison department in Lahore for giving up the body to an ambulance operator to take him to Karachi.
Toi contacted his daughter-in-law Raziya Jafar in Karachi when his son Jafar Alam came out.
“We came to know about his death only a month ago.
Someone, maybe from the government, come to the house we ask whether we relate to Amir Hamza and say he is no longer,” said Raziya.
“He was arrested four years ago.
There are others like him in prison too.
Finally, when we get his body, it is tied up in such a way that we can’t even see his face,” he said.
Saeed Baloch, Secretary General of the Fisherfolk Pakistani Forum, said they came to know through kliping that a fisherman died in an Indian prison.
“After that starting the correspondence to get Mortal remain back.
This procedure can be made faster than both sides,” he said.
There are 90 Pakistani fishermen in Indian prisons and 500 Indians in Pakistan, he said.
“The whole procedure here requires too much time to ensure the person’s identity.
Hamza is a Bengali immigrant and, therefore, does not even have a Pakistani identity card.
Previously, there was a Judicial Commission that took such a case, but there has been no appointments since 20188, “Baloch said.
Explain the process, Bhuj SAURABH SINGH said there was a procedure set for such cases.
This problem must be taken with the Ministry of State House, which took it with the Ministry of Houses Union.
The latter then took a problem with a foreign country, which followed his own procedure to identify the person and bring it back.
Singh said Hamza was the last sent.
In some cases, the last rite occurred in India itself.
Baloch said Hamza came from poor families and was unable to pay burial fees.
Three of his sons could not attend the last ritual when they went in the sea for fishing.
