Vadodara, January 20

The investigation into the Vadodara boat capsize tragedy has revealed that the firm managing the lake recreation zone had sublet the contract for boating activities to another company, prompting the police to book its owner and another person, a senior officer said on Saturday.

According to the police, the boat operator had no prior experience and his helper did not even know how to swim. Twelve students and two teachers among a group of picnickers died on Thursday when the boat capsized in a lake.
