12-year-old girl falls 30 feet into gorge after zipline belt breaks mid-air in Manali, chilling video emerges
A Nagpur-based girl spending her summer vacation in Himachal Pradesh's Manali with her family was severely injured in a horrifying ziplining incident. Trisha Bijwe fell 30 feet into a rocky gorge while performing the adventure activity on June 8.
The video of the heart-stopping moment has since gone viral on social media, showing the girl falling onto a cluster of boulders as the cable gives way. Midway through the ride, the zipline cable suddenly broke, causing her to plunge nearly 30 feet into a gorge below.
Daughter of Prafulla and Bijwe from Nagpur, Trisha sustained multiple fractures in the fall. She underwent surgery a few days later and is currently recovering. Speaking to PTI, her father shared an update on her condition: 'My daughter's condition is now stable.'
Sharing the video, an X user Nikhil Saini wrote, 'This is why adventure sports aren't safe in India. In Manali, a young girl fell from a zipline—nearly 30 feet—and is now seriously injured. Anyone without proper experience starts these activities, and there's no one to check. Action is only taken after a fatal accident happens.'

The incident has raised serious concerns about safety standards and regulation at adventure activity sites across popular tourist destinations like Manali and has triggered outrage. 'This is Horrific. There are a number of these unauthorized Ziplines operating all over India. Strict Action is needed against these operators to prevent such accidents,' a user wrote. 'Never, ever do adventure sports in India. You've got zero-experience folks running the show, no guardrails, no safety protocols, no clue about first aid and absolutely no fear of legal consequences,' another user commented.
'Travelling inside India itself is an adventure!' a third user reacted.
In January, a tourist from Tamil Nadu died after the paraglider he was on collided with another paraglider. The incident happened at the Gadsa paragliding site in Kully and also left the pilot severely injured.

32 Nepal youngsters held captive in Uttarakhand rescued: Victims lured with job promises, forced into sales work; embassy, NGO, police bust human trafficking racket
DEHRADUN: Thirty-two Nepali nationals, including three minors, were rescued on Thursday from a house in Udham Singh Nagar (US Nagar) district, where they were allegedly held captive for around four months after being lured to India with promises of lucrative jobs. The joint operation was conducted by the Nepal embassy, Uttarakhand Police, and NGO, KIN India. Three men, including a Nepali citizen, Birendra Shahi, 21, have been arrested. In a post on X, the official handle of the Nepal embassy in India on Saturday said the rescued individuals will be repatriated after the legal process is completed. Efforts on to rescue 35 more Nepal nationals from Rudrapur US Nagar SSP Manikant Mishra told TOI on Sunday that police were alerted by an embassy official on Thursday. "Acting on the input, police along with the NGO representatives raided the house of Maharaj Singh in Kashipur, where 32 people, including three boys aged around 14-15, were found," Mishra said. He said that the victims were from poor families in Nepal and had been brought to India by Shahi on the promise of jobs. "He had taken Rs 10,000 to 30,000 from each of them. But once in Kashipur, he and his associates, Sachin Kumar, 28, of Ghazipur, and Manish Tiwari, 29, of Rudrapur, confined and assaulted them. They were forced to sell daily-use products for a Delhi-based firm, to which the collected money was transferred. " A case was registered against the trio on Thursday under multiple BNS sections, including 127(4) (wrongful confinement), 137(2) (kidnapping), and 111(2) (organised crime). All three were arrested on Friday and sent to jail after being produced in court. Naveen Joshi, a representative of KIN India, added that a second operation was underway on Sunday to rescue around 35 more Nepali nationals held in Rudrapur.

Sonam Raghuvanshi Hid Weapon, Jewellery At Indore Property; Two Arrested For Aiding Her
Last Updated: Two more suspects, a property dealer and a security guard, were arrested for helping Sonam Raghuvanshi conceal evidence in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case. Two more people, a property dealer and a security guard, were arrested on Saturday in connection with the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case. According to the details, the property dealer was arrested for concealing a jewellery box belonging to Sonam Raghuvanshi, Raja's wife and the prime accused in the case. The box was hidden in a flat in Indore after the murder last month, it was known. Commenting on the arrests, East Khasi Hills district SP Vivek Syiem said, 'The Meghalaya Police Special Investigation Team (SIT) arrested one Silome James from Bhonrasa toll-gate in Dewas district of Madhya Pradesh while he was trying to flee to Bhopal around 7.30 pm on Saturday." 'He is a property dealer and lessee of a building at Heera Bagh Colony in Indore, where Sonam had stayed and kept the jewellery and other items she took with her after the incident," he said. Later, the SIT nabbed a security guard, identified as Balla Ahirwar, from his native village in Ashok Nagar district of Madhya Pradesh around 2 am on Sunday. He was posted at the property. The box is believed to have contained key evidence linked to the murder, PTI quoted sources as saying. The arrested property dealer led the SIT to the place where he had disposed of all the items of the box by burning, the officer said. A member of the SIT said that Sonam's boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, owned a firearm, and this was kept at the property along with jewellery and a laptop. At the site where James had burnt the box, there were no signs of the pistol, laptop or any of the jewellery belonging to Raja, he said, adding that a forensic team had also visited the spot and collected all available evidence. The flat was rented out to murder co-accused Vishal Chauhan by James, who runs a property management firm in Indore, they said. On June 13, James told reporters that Chauhan approached him on May 30 and rented the flat for Rs 17,000 per month, signing a formal agreement. However, when the Meghalaya Police later searched the flat, it was found vacant, as per the sources. Sonam stayed in the flat for several days on return from Meghalaya, before eventually surrendering to police in UP on June 8, the sources said. James and Ahirwar were produced before a court in Indore, which remanded them in the transit custody of Meghalaya Police for seven days, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Rajesh Dandotiya said. Indore-based transport businessman Raghuvanshi married Sonam on May 11 in Indore, and the couple left for their honeymoon in Meghalaya on May 20. The couple went missing on May 23, and Raja Raghuvanshi's mutilated body was recovered on June 2 from a deep gorge near a waterfall in the Sohra area of East Khasi Hills district. Raja was hacked to death by three men using two machetes near a secluded parking lot close to the famous Weisawdong falls in Sohra, it was later revealed. Sonam, accused of conspiring with her alleged lover to kill her husband, surrendered on June 8 before the police in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur district, while four other accused have been arrested from different locations in MP and UP. The Meghalaya Police had earlier arrested five persons in connection with the murder — Sonam, her alleged lover Raj Kushwaha and the latter's three friends Vishal Chauhan, Akash Rajput and Anand Kurmi. The five are currently in judicial custody and lodged at a jail in Meghalaya. First Published: June 23, 2025, 10:11 IST
