The bodies of two fishermen, who were among the three killed in a mid-sea collision of a mechanised boat and a merchant vessel off Mangaluru in the early hours of Tuesday, were brought to Colachel on Thursday and buried. The victims Alexander, 38, and his father-in-law Dasan, along with 12 others were fishing 55 nautical miles off the Mangaluru coast when a Singapore merchant vessel rammed their boat. All of them drowned due to the impact. The ship crew managed to rescue Velmurugan of Ramanathapuram and Sunil Das of West Bengal but could only retrieve the bodies of Alexander, Dasan and Manik Das of West Bengal.More Related News
