Family members say an Indian marine engineer who went missing after an attack on a commercial vessel off the Oman coast is dead. The reporting identifies him as an Indian national who disappeared after an assault on the GFS Galaxy, and says the death was relayed by a father-in-law on Wednesday.[1][2]

Attack on the vessel

The available reports link the death claim to an attack on the commercial vessel GFS Galaxy off Oman. Neither document provides additional details about how the attack unfolded or offers an independently confirmed account of the casualty.[2]

Diplomatic reaction described in one report

One of the two reports says New Delhi lodged a strong protest with Iran after summoning its deputy ambassador over Tuesday's killing. That diplomatic step appears only in the BusinessLine item and is not repeated in the second report, so it should be treated as a claim from a single source rather than a fully corroborated fact.[1][2]
