The search operation for a seven-year-old boy, who went missing after a tragic collision between a Navy craft and a ferry off the Mumbai coast, continued on Friday, according to officials. The incident, which occurred two days ago on December 18, has now claimed the lives of 14 people, with the body of a 43-year-old man recovered on Thursday evening.
The collision took place when a Navy craft, undergoing engine trials, lost control and crashed into the passenger ferry Neel Kamal near Mumbai’s harbour area. The ferry, which had over 100 passengers on board, was en route from the Gateway of India to the Elephanta Island, a well-known tourist destination famous for its ancient caves.
