The Indian Navy launched a massive rescue operation after a merchant vessel, with 20 people onboard, began sinking off the Mumbai coast on Monday. At least 19 crew members of the sinking merchant vessel were safely rescued and taken to the INS Shikra Naval Air Station in Colaba at around 9 am.

However, the captain of the ship is still reportedly present on the merchant vessel. The incident took place on Sunday night after the crew members of Jindal Kamakshi failed to contain the flooding of the ship and made the distress call on Monday morning seeking assistance. The merchant vessel was 40 nautical miles from Mumbai harbour and 25 nautical miles off Vasai coast when it started tilting.
