Islamabad, June 12: Pakistani authorities had mistakenly jailed two of its nationals for a decade, suspecting them to be "Indians", a visiting Indian judicial delegation found on Thursday.

This was discovered when a four-member Indian team of the bilateral judicial committee on prisoners visited Indian fishermen held in the Youthful Offenders' Industrial School or juvenile jail in the port city of Karachi.

During their interviews of Indian prisoners, the delegation realised that the two prisoners were actually Pakistani nationals, retired justice Nagendra Rai, the leader of the Indian delegation said.

"This was brought to the notice of Pakistani officials who said they would be released, Rai said.

Rai also said that 34 Indian fishermen, all teenagers, are likely to be released by Pakistan.
