Port Blair, Feb 13: A 26 year old boy from Nagpur, Maharashtra died this afternoon at North Bay after completing Scuba Diving at North Bay beach.
As per reports, the boy namely Vinit Sohan Papre went with his father Ashok Chand Das Papre, mother and Sister to North Bay for Scuba Diving under the supervision of a private diving agency, Dive Mantra. Sources said that after the boy came out from the sea after Scuba Diving, he died.
It is learnt that the family members of the Boy has registered a complaint at the Bambooflat Police Station alleging negligence from the side of the Dive Mantra and the divers.
It is also learnt that the Bambooflat Police Station has registered an FIR against Dive Mantra and the Divers.
The boy went back into the Sea after he was dropped to the shore by the Dive Master.
It is an accident due to negligence of the deceased and not the Dive Centre.
But as usual the administration will probably stop Diving from tomorrow onwards as a part of their duty and the actual fact will never be revealed.
My sincere condolences to the deceased family.
At the same time may God give enough strength to Dive Mantra to fight a long long judicial battle for no fault of theirs.
Thank you Andaman Administration for ur age old attitude.
This is so bad, what the hell was the security people doing…
Because of there negligence one life has passed away…
And that too after paying money it should not happen with any one, request to police officers, cancel divers licence and teach them a lesson, so that they would not play with someones life again….
