Pradeep Kumar, a 75-year-old elderly devotee who had come to Gangotri Dham Darshan from West Bengal with his wife and acquaintance, died due to cardiac arrest, which made his wife and acquaintance very upset. Uttarkashi Police reached out as soon as the information was received. His wife told that they have no children and it is not possible to take the dead body back to West Bengal. The police personnel, after taking all necessary steps, performed the last rites of Pradeep ji according to Hindu rituals at Kedarghat, Uttarkashi.
