CHENNAI: The middle-aged parents of a Pratibha Cauvery sailor who drowned after the ship ran aground off the Chennai coast on October 31 committed suicide by hanging at their residence in Arakkonam on Friday. They left behind a suicide note which blamed the government and the shipping agency for negligence and inaction.
Sailor Niranjan's father K N Kothandapani, 56 and mother S K Bharathi, 50, were found hanging from the same rope, police said. Niranjan was among the five sailors who drowned after they abandoned the ship and their lifeboat capsized near the Besant Nagar beach.
Niranjan's aunt who went to his parents' house early on Friday morning found Kothandapani and Bharathi hanging. They had made nooses on either side of a rope tied to a ceiling fan. On a nearby table was the suicide note Kothandapani had written.
Niranjan's relative Merin, who read the note, said Kothandapani blamed the shipping agency and the government for not taking action against people responsible for his son's death and not reaching out to the family. Arakkonam police sent the bodies to a government hospital in Arakkonam for autopsy. Kothandapani was a farmer and Bharathi a homemaker. Niranjan was their only son.
Pratibha Cauvery, which was near Chennai port strayed after its anchor broke in the gusty winds that preceded Cyclone Nilam on October 31. The captain of the oil tanker ordered the sailors to abandon the ship after it lost anchor and drifted within 50 metres of Besant Nagar beach, where it ran aground and appeared to be in imminent danger of sinking. A sailor said 22 crew members attempted to head for shore in a lifeboat. The overloaded vessel capsized in the choppy waters, which turned into a disaster and five seamen drowned in the sea. Their bodies were recovered from the sea shore a couple of days later.
