On Camera, Woman Hanging On To Rope Falls, Dies During Jharkhand Rescue

The Jharkhand High Court has taken suo motu cognizance of Deoghar ropeway incident and has ordered an inquiry into the matter. The court will hear the matter on April 26.

At least three people have died in the rescue operation in Jharkhand where over 40 people were trapped in cable cars mid-air since Sunday after two cable cars collided with each other due to a technical glitch on the ropeway.

One of the dead was a woman who fell to the ground as she was brought down through a rope during the rescue operation in Trikut Hills in Jharkhand's Deoghar district.

Video from the site showed the woman losing balance and falling to the ground meters below. The woman, who suffered serious injuries, later died during treatment, officials said.

"The woman suffered injuries to her head after she fell. She died on her way to the hospital," said a civil surgeon at the hospital where she was brought for treatment.
