The bodies of 15 Indian nationals who died in a boat tragedy in Vietnam arrived at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Monday, July 13, 2026. The remains were flown from Ho Chi Minh City on a Vietnam Airlines flight.
The incident occurred earlier this month when a tourist boat capsized off the coast of Vietnam. The Indian nationals were part of a group traveling in the region. The exact date and location of the accident have not been officially confirmed by authorities.
Indian embassy officials in Vietnam coordinated with local authorities to facilitate the repatriation of the bodies. The Indian government expressed condolences to the families of the victims.
An investigation into the cause of the boat capsizing is ongoing. Vietnamese authorities are leading the probe.
