Following a tragic accident off Mumbai's coast, naval boats persist in their search for a missing seven-year-old boy after a Navy craft collided with a passenger ferry. The collision, which has claimed 14 lives, occurred when the Navy vessel, undergoing engine trials, lost control.

The search and rescue (SAR) operation, involving naval helicopters and Coast Guard boats, is set to continue for at least another 72 hours, as officials confirm that the boy's body is yet to be recovered. Among the 113 passengers aboard the vessels, 98 were rescued, with two sustaining injuries.

A probe into the incident has been launched, with a case registered against the Navy craft driver. Legal sections have been invoked regarding negligence and endangerment, while the affected ferry has been moved to a wharf for further examination.
