Vietnam authorities have detained the captain of a speedboat that overturned near Phu Quoc Island in southern Vietnam on Saturday afternoon, killing 15 Indian tourists [1]. The vessel flipped over at approximately 12:40 local time within less than half a kilometer from shore off Hon May Rut Ngoai island [1][3]. Of the people aboard—comprising 32 Indian tourists and four Vietnamese crew members—the incident resulted in 15 deaths, while 21 individuals were rescued [1][3]. Among those saved, 16 survivors have been discharged and are returning to India, whereas one person remains in critical condition under intensive care at a local hospital [1].
The captain, identified as Nguyen Hong Hai, aged 57, has been held by police for investigation into suspected violations of maritime traffic safety regulations [1]. The accident occurred during an organizational team-building event involving employees and partners of Lava International, an Indian smartphone manufacturer [1]. While the exact cause is under review, local officials suggest that strong winds and high waves may have contributed to the capsizing [3]. In response to the tragedy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep sorrow over the incident affecting Indian nationals [3], with India's embassy in Vietnam also offering assistance [3].
