MUMBAI: A seven-year-old boy who was onboard the ferry is still missing, with a search operation ongoing, officials said.
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra Maritime Board has confirmed to the police that the ferry, Neelkamal, had a capacity of 90, including 84 passengers and six crewmembers. This means the ferry, which was plying from the Gateway of India to Elephanta Island, was overloaded at the time of the accident.
As of Wednesday night, 98 of the 113 people on board both vessels had been rescued, with 13 others declared dead and two missing. On Thursday, a naval helicopter and eight boats belonging to the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard were deployed to look for the two missing passengers.
Navy divers eventually found the body of Hansram Bhati, a resident of Tanaji Nagar in Malad East, near the accident spot, 8.25 km from the Gateway of India. The police said Bhati, a jeweller, was on the ferry with his wife Santosh, their 14-year-old son Tarun, and their Rajasthan-based relatives, Neeta and Pravin Rathod.
