Tragedy struck a family from Mehsana, Gujarat, when a boat they were on capsized off the coast of San Diego, resulting in the death of their son and the disappearance of their daughter. The incident unfolded on May 5, with the Patel family among 16 migrants affected.
Brijesh Patel, along with his wife Jagruti and children Prince and Mahi, faced unimaginable loss as their boat overturned in the Pacific Ocean. Authorities confirmed the death of 14-year-old Prince, while 10-year-old Mahi remains missing and is presumed dead.
Injured and hospitalized, Brijesh and Jagruti, originally from Anandpura village in Gujarat's Mehsana district, hope for swift government intervention. Family members are appealing to the Indian Embassy for assistance and safe return arrangements.
