The police team has detained and are questioning the two trekkers accompanying Babita to trace her down, and a number of inquiries are also being conducted to solve the mystery of the woman’s sudden disappearance.

Authorities also added that the investigation is currently focused on acquiring as much information as possible. The popular trekking region Dayara Bugyal is located at more than 10,000 feet and is one of the famous tourist destinations in the Uttarakhand region.

However, the trekking route is one of the challenging ones due to the dense jungles, steep climbs, uneven terrains, and volatile climate, making the search and rescue operation more complicated and difficult.
