Naval commander Abhilash Tomy has been rescued safely by the French Research Vessel called Osiris. He has been taken to New Amsterdam Island, a 55 sq km subantartic island, three days after being badly injured while participating in the golden globe race. Tomy suffered a back injury on Friday after his yacht was hit by a vicious storm with 14-metre-high waves mid-way across South Indian Ocean. He was demisted.
