A tragic paragliding accident led to the death of an Andhra Pradesh tourist in Himachal Pradesh's Kullu district, police reported on Wednesday.

The incident occurred on Tuesday at Raison, approximately 20 km from Manali, when Tadi Mahesh Reddy, 32, attempted to take off. Prompt medical intervention followed, but he succumbed to severe injuries.

Sudden gusts of wind impacted Reddy's glider, leading to a fatal descent instead of a lift. Initially treated at Harihar Hospital in Bhuntar, Reddy's worsening condition prompted a transfer to the Medical College in Mandi, where he was pronounced dead. Police continue their investigation into the unfortunate event.
