Did the U.S. Navy ignored distress calls to save an Indian soldier who was fighting for life on board a vessel near Oman? Nishant Uirthanathan, a 35-year-old crew member on the vessel MT Celestial, died on June 11 due to medical complications while it was docked at Duqm Port in Oman. According to Russian media, crew members repeatedly contacted the American navy seeking urgent assistance. The crew claimed Nishant's condition deteriorated over several days before he stopped breathing. His grieving family in Tamil Nadu has demanded answers, alleging they were not properly informed about his death.
