Tragedy struck the scenic hills of Kullu as Vír Soren, beloved grandson of Jharkhand’s former Chief Minister Champai Soren, passed away mysteriously during a group trip. What began as a joyful snow holiday with friends ended in profound loss, drawing the Soren family to Himachal Pradesh in haste.
The sequence of events paints a vivid picture: After thrilling ice-skating at Solang Nala and Hampta Snow Point on Monday, the group returned to their homestay. Vír stayed indoors Tuesday morning. Friends returning found him gripped by severe cephalalgia; they administered over-the-counter relief, after which he slept.
By 2:30 PM, a fall’s echo prompted a check-in, revealing Vír collapsed. An urgent dash to the Civil Hospital followed, marked by foaming from his mouth. CPR proved futile; death was official.
Champai Soren, accompanied by Bablu Soren and others, is traveling to Shimla. Shock ripples through Jharkhand politics and Kolhan, where the family commands respect. Vír is recalled for his enthusiasm and warmth.
With the body in police custody, autopsy will clarify if hypoxia, medication mishap, or health issues contributed. This case amplifies concerns over safety in high-altitude leisure zones, urging better awareness and facilities. As grief envelops the Sorens, solidarity pours from across the spectrum.
