I AM ONE OF THE 66 SURVIVORS FROM INS KHUKRI WHICH SUNK DURING 1971 WAR. I HAVE SEEN SO MAY STORIES ABOUT THIS TRAGEDY. BUT NO ONE STATED "WHO'S MISTAKE IT WAS" SOME PUT BLAME ON CAPT MULLAH, WHICH I DONT AGREE AT ALL... DID ANY ONE TALK ABOUT THE T.A.S. OFFICER (TARPEDO ANTI SUBMARINE) ON DUTY THAT PARTICULAR NIGHT???? EVEN COMDR MANU SHARMA ASKED ME A HELPING HAND WHILE WE WERE FLOATING/SWIMMING, BECAUSE I WAS THE ONLY ONE WAS HAVING LIFE JACKET ON !! NO ONE IN THAT PARTICULAR TIME. I HAVE SEEN CAPT MULLAH IN SIDE THE BRIDGE JUST MICRO SECOND BEFORE THE SHIP WENT DOWN. NEITHER HE WAS SMOKING OF DRINKING. AND IT WAS DARK IN SIDE THE BRIDGE AFTER 3 TARPEDO HIT. HE WAS A GEM.
THE REAL CULPRIT WAS T.A.S OFFICE ON DUTY. I KNOW THE COMPLETE STORY. HE COULD NOT SURVIED DUE.........!!!!!
