                   Bangladesh Passenger Ferry MV Pinak-6 sank in holy water of Padma(Ganga) river.Witnesses said the Pinak-6 appeared dangerously overloaded. Survivors said there were about 300 people aboard the vessel, which a Shipping Ministry official who declined to be named said had a registered capacity of 85.
                  Authorities in Bangladesh filed criminal charges against the captain of a ferry that capsized earlier this week, as rescuers called off the search for more than 125 passengers still missing three days after the disaster.Around 100 passengers survived the sinking.In May, about 50 people died in a ferry accident in the same district.
