The mystery surrounding the disappearance of 23-year-old Odia Merchant Navy officer Sarthak Mohapatra deepened after a detailed inspection of the vessel in Singapore yielded no clues about his whereabouts.

Sarthak’s mother, Rashmita Mohapatra, and his uncle travelled to Singapore to gather information about his disappearance. They were accompanied by two senior officials from the Directorate General of Shipping (DG Shipping), representing the Government of India. The team conducted an extensive inspection of multiple sections of the merchant vessel where Sarthak had been posted.

During the inquiry, DG Shipping officials questioned several crew members onboard. According to sources, certain inconsistencies were noted in the statements given by some crew members, and these discrepancies are currently under further scrutiny.

Despite the detailed search and questioning, no trace of Sarthak was found on the vessel. Following the inspection, the ship departed for China.

The family is now scheduled to meet officials of the High Commission of India in Singapore to seek further assistance and diplomatic intervention in the matter.

Background

Sarthak Mohapatra reportedly went missing under mysterious circumstances on February 3 while on duty aboard the merchant vessel MV EA Jersey, operated by Anglo-Eastern Shipping Company. The shipping company informed authorities after he could not be located onboard.
