Supreme Court directs MEA to trace Indian seafarer missing after Black Sea drone attack

The Supreme Court has directed the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to use diplomatic channels to trace an Indian seafarer, Deepak Kumar Gupta, who went missing after his cargo ship was attacked by drones in the Black Sea. The directive came in response to a plea filed by the seafarer's brother, Sandeep Kumar Gupta, after the family's requests to the Union of India and Indian embassies in Ukraine and Romania went unanswered.
