We offer our heartfelt Condolences to the families of our
naval officers Lieutenant Commander Kapish Muwal and Lieutenant Manoranjan
Kumar, who are no more with us.
Two naval
officers Lieutenant Commander Kapish Muwal, 32, and Lieutenant Manoranjan
Kumar, 30, were found dead, whose bodies were found inside the submarine INS
Sindhuratna on Thursday, it is said that they died saving other sailors after a
fire broke out in the vessel late on Wednesday morning.
Survivors say
the two officers pushed their comrades out of the compartments and were
checking to see whether anyone was left when a hatch closed, trapping them
inside. Seven injured sailors are recovering in hospital.
The INS Sindhuratna,
a Soviet-built Kilo class vessel, was commissioned in 1988 and was on sea
trials for the last time and the fire broke out killing two officers.
