A former BJP couple met a tragic end, and a local singer was injured when their vehicle fell into a deep gorge in Himachal Pradesh's Chamba district, police reported on Saturday.

The accident unfolded late Friday night on Chamba-Tissa Road as the trio traveled to Chamba from Churah. Locals discovered the wrecked vehicle Saturday morning and notified authorities.

Police identified the deceased as Hari Singh, the former vice-president of BJP SC Morcha in Chamba, and his wife Shiv Dei, both from Churah. The injured, Jagdish Soni, is also from Churah. Preliminary findings attribute the crash to darkness and a steep slope, though overspeeding hasn't been ruled out. Investigations continue.
