The High Commission of India in Singapore said that they are in “close contact” with the Sahani family, hailing from India, whose mother is missing after she fell off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship on Monday during a voyage from Malaysia to Singapore.

Taking to Twitter, the High Commission of India in Singapore said, “The High Commission of India is in constant touch with the Sahani family since the news of the unfortunate incident reached us. We are also in close contact with Singaporean authorities to address related issues and are facilitating legal procedures.” “HCI has also reached out to the India head of the Royal Caribbean cruise company to extend all cooperation. We remain fully committed to supporting the family in this testing time,” it added.

Reeta Sahani, 64, was vacationing with her husband, Jakesh Sahani, 70, on the Spectrum of the Seas when he woke up in the middle of the night and noticed his wife was missing, The Strait Times reported.

Jakesh Sahani tried to locate his wife on the cruise ship but was not successful, so he informed the ship’s crew, who later told him the ship’s overboard detection systems had been alerted that something had fallen from the vessel into the Singapore Strait.

Afterwards, Jakesh’s son, Apoorv Sahani had a telephonic talk with his father and later recounted the entire episode to the Strait Times on a phone call on Monday night.
