Jaipur: A young chef from Kota, Rajasthan, working on a cruise for a private shipping company has gone missing at sea near the coast of Boston in the USA. On April 25, the family was informed that he had fallen into the sea from the cruise ship while on duty, and now, even after six days, the young man remains untraced. The family has approached the President of India's office to intervene in the matter.

The missing chef, Deepak Singh Rathore (26), had been working with this private American shipping company since 2024. His father,

Mahaveer Singh Rathore, said that he had spoken to his son just one day before the accident. “On the day of the accident, my son was aboard the cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean. We learned of his fall into the sea only after a colleague of his called us. The company is conducting rescue operations, but he is untraced so far,” said the father.

Deepak is the elder of the two sons of Mahaveer Singh, and the family is in utter distress and inconsolable grief after the incident.
