The incident occurred on Saturday at the Indrunag Adventures paragliding site in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. Khushi Bhavsar, a 19-year-old resident of Ahmedabad, lost her balance while trying to take off for paragliding. Before the flight could begin, she slipped into a 60-foot-deep valley.

Bhavsar was on holiday with her family. On Saturday, during their visit to the paragliding site, she lost control and slipped into the valley. She was rescued and rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared her dead.

The police have registered a case of accidental death and have begun an investigation into the incident.

Notably, according to sources, the deceased was the niece of a Shahibaug corporator.
