CBI Takes Over Sailor's Disappearance Investigation After 8 Years
A sailor named Abhinandh disappeared from a ship eight years ago.
His father asked for help to find him.
Now, the CBI, a special police force in India, is taking over the case.
Abhinandh was working on a ship owned by a company in the UAE.
Before he went missing, he told his family his coworkers and supervisor were treating him poorly.
The ship was in international waters, which made the investigation difficult for the local police.
A judge decided the CBI should investigate to find out what happened.
CBI has taken over the investigation into the disappearance of sailor Abhinandh Yesudasan.
Abhinandh went missing eight years ago while working on a ship.
He was employed by Aries Marines LLC, a Sharjah-based company.
The Kerala High Court ordered the CBI to investigate based on the father's plea.
Abhinandh's last communication detailed alleged torture by a supervisor.
