Kerala authorities confirm that two residents from Kottarakkara—A.C. Thomas, 57, and his wife, Loveni Thomas, 56—are among the victims of a boat tragedy in Vietnam near Phu Quoc. According to reports, the couple had travelled to Vietnam on July 7 as part of a group tour. Both outlets identify the victims with matching names and ages, and they report that the broader incident involves the deaths of 15 Indian tourists. The reports indicate that authorities in Kerala are identifying the victims and notifying families following the accident. The couple’s deaths are thus added to the list of Indian casualties announced in connection with the incident. Details such as the precise circumstances of the crash and any ongoing investigations are not fully covered in the provided excerpts. The confirmation from Kerala establishes the identities of the Kottarakkara victims and links their trip to the tour group that was in Vietnam at the time of the accident.
