A family vacation turned fatal in Himachal’s Kullu when Vír Soren, grandson of former Jharkhand CM Champai Soren, breathed his last at a Manali homestay. The promising young man fell ill shortly after snowy escapades with pals, sparking a somber response from the political heartland of Jharkhand.
Eyewitnesses recount the group’s exhilarating day at snow points in Solang Nala and Hampta, complete with skating sessions. They wrapped up Monday and retired. Tuesday saw Vír resting at the homestay as friends explored further. Post-lunch, he mentioned excruciating head pain and consumed medicine handed by companions before lying down.
A alarming noise around half-past two drew attention to Vír sprawled beside his bed. Friends acted swiftly, transporting him to the civil hospital amid signs of distress like frothing at the mouth. Despite resuscitation attempts, physicians confirmed his passing.
News reached Champai Soren swiftly, mobilizing him, son Bablu Soren, and kin towards Shimla. Jharkhand’s Kolhan region and political leaders are in mourning, reflecting on Vír’s lively spirit. The family awaits postmortem insights amid speculation of acute mountain sickness or adverse drug reaction.
Local cops are investigating the homestay premises and questioning friends. This unfortunate event serves as a stark reminder for tourists flocking to Himalayan hotspots: acclimatization, medical precautions, and emergency readiness are non-negotiable. Tributes continue to flow as the Sorens prepare for a poignant farewell.
