Body of one of the fish workers missing from Muthalapozhi recovered
Freemon’s body was recovered from Kannanthura, around 23 kilometres away from Muthalalozhi during a joint search operation of the Indian Coast Guard, Coastal Police and the Marine Enforcement Wing
The body of fish worker Freemon, one of the two missing individuals after a fishing boat capsized at Muthalapozhi in Thiruvananthapuram district on Friday evening, was recovered on Sunday morning following a joint search operation by the Indian Coast Guard, Coastal Police, and Marine Enforcement Wing. Freemon, a 28-year-old from Anchuthengu, was found in Kannanthura, approximately 23 kilometres away from the incident site.
The boat, carrying four fish workers, capsized due to strong currents near the Muthalapozhi estuary. Two others, Smith and Jose, managed to swim to shore. As protests erupted over the perceived lack of thorough search efforts, the identities of the remaining missing fishers, Antony and John, were confirmed. The Indian Navy's Garuda helicopter conducted aerial searches on Saturday, with plans for continued rescue operations on Sunday.
