A district court in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, orders the registration of a first information report (FIR) following a boat tragedy in which 13 people died. The court directs action against the cruise boat pilot/driver and other crew members, after finding that they did not make efforts to rescue passengers when the boat sank in the river in Jabalpur. The order comes from the Judicial Magistrate First Class, who records that the failure to attempt rescue is treated as an allegation of culpable wrongdoing under criminal provisions. The court’s direction requires the police to register the FIR and proceed with investigation into the circumstances surrounding the sinking and the response by those on the boat. Both reports describe the deaths of 13 individuals and the court’s decision to initiate criminal investigation against the operator and crew. No further details on arrests, charges filed by police, or the outcome of the investigation are reported in the available accounts.
