Around 8.30 am, submarine INS Shankush was on preparing for an exercise 60 nautical miles off Mumbai's coast. Minutes before it dived underwater, a crew member came up to the deck for work. He was caught off guard as the submarine went below at that precise moment.
Seeing his colleague battle the waves, Firdaus – the executive officer of the submarine – rushed up to give him a hand.
He was washed to sea too.
Sources said Firdaus Mogul was also injured trying to save the crew member.
Naval officers and coastguards scoured the waters in helicopters soon after the accident. While the crew member lived, Firdaus' body was recovered some time later.
