Lakshadweep port authorities 'arrested and detained' the
ship in connection with the death of
a 14-month-old American citizen of Indian origin, on Nov 21 last year.
The arrest was on the basis of an interim order of the Kerala High
Court. The ship was released an hour later after the master furnished a
bank guarantee of Rs 10 lakh (US$22,696). The child's parents
have a US$10 million claim in Malaysian court for 'negligence'
resulting in the death.
