A fishing boat with eight persons on board capsized off the Mumbai coast, a police officer said Tuesday, adding that all of them have been rescued.
The incident occurred on the intervening night of June 2 and June 3, when the boat, "Ajanta", was returning to Uttan in Thane district.
"The boat capsized around 30 nautical miles away from Mumbai. All the eight men, including the owner of the boat, fell into the sea due to the impact. They were rescued by two other boats nearby. All of them are safe," said the senior officer with Uttan Sagri police station.
The boat sank completely this morning, he said, adding that two boats have been dispatched for relief.
