According to local sources, all the tourists fell into the water, but Shah drowned. He was rushed to a local hospital where he was declared dead. Shah’s body was taken to Delhi via road and later flown into Mumbai. 

Speaking to mid-day, a relative said that Shah was running a garment shop at Mangaldas Market. “Shah decided to go on vacation to Himachal Pradesh with his wife Kiran and friends. They booked an eight-day-long tour of Kulu Manali,” he says, adding that Shah had been hesitant to go river rafting, but others convinced him to join them. “The primary post-mortem report revealed that there were no injuries on the body. He died due to drowning.”
