According to the rescue team, a total of 105 people were evacuated by boats, while another 55 were rescued via zip lines in Jalpaiguri. The team also recovered one deceased individual during the operations.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is "verifying" the possible involvement of a zip line operator who was reportedly heard chanting "Allahu Akbar" as gunfire erupted during the Pahalgam terror attack which left 26 tourists dead, including a Nepali citizen, sources told ANI.
