In fact, one officer said at this point of time Wadhwa's family spoke to senior officers to reassure that the Navy would not curtail entire military honours.
No member of the family was available to confirm this, but multiple sources, aware of developments, confirmed the incident to TOI.
Wadhwa (42) died before he could be taken to the hospital after inhaling carbon dioxide that had leaked from a malfunctioning unit on the warship, at the Mazagon Dock Ltd (MDL) facility.
Two employees of the shipyard were also affected in the incident and had to be taken to hospital. They are to be discharged later.
