One injured after fishing boat catches fire and sinks off Mumbai

All seven of Sea Princess' crew were safely evacuated onto the Good Samaritan boats as the blaze spread through their vessel, resulting in extensive damage that ultimately caused it to sink at around 17:00 on Sunday.

One crewmember sustained leg and hand injuries and was brought to hospital. On Tuesday, March 10, local newspaper Hindustan Times reported that this individual is in stable condition.

An official of a local fishermen's association has confirmed that plans to salvage the wreck are being drafted.
