Fishing Boat Capsizes Off Kollam Coast, One Killed, Two Missing

Fishing Boat Capsizes Off Kollam Coast, One Killed, Two Missing

A fishing boat called Sreekrishna was carrying 14 people when it tipped over near a breakwater in Kollam, a city in Kerala, India.

The captain, Rajeevan, was pulled out of the water but later died.

Two other people, a man named Radhakrishnan and his son Gautam, went missing.

Eleven people were rescued, some even swimming to safety.

The rescue was hard because the sea was very rough and full of big waves.

Police are looking into the accident and have opened a case for an unnatural death.

The incident happened while Kerala was in the middle of a 52‑day fishing ban for the monsoon season.

The ban ends that same night.

The authorities are still searching for the missing people.
