An Indian student, Albin Shinto, is feared dead following a suspected drowning incident in Riga, Latvia. The tragedy occurred on July 18, when Shinto, a student from Kerala, went missing while swimming in the Jugla canal with friends. Eyewitness accounts indicate that he encountered difficulties in the water and disappeared beneath the surface despite attempts by his friends to rescue him. A nearby fisherman managed to save two of the rescuers, but Shinto was not located during the initial search efforts, which lasted two to three hours before being suspended due to darkness and limited resources.
