Seafarer’s body returned from Venezuela with ‘missing’ organs; Indian embassy seeks probe

The Indian Embassy in Venezuela is demanding a full investigation into allegations that Indian sailor Rakesh Chauhan’s organs were removed before his body was sent home. His family claims he died suspiciously on a Venezuelan vessel, and a second post-mortem in India revealed his body was completely devoid of internal organs. The Forward Seamen’s Union of India is also pushing for answers and has highlighted discrepancies in repatriation documents.
