The state, known for its pristine beauty and mist-laden hills, is now grappling with uncomfortable questions about tourist safety, governance, and its responsibility as a host.

Raghuvanshi, a visitor from Indore on his honeymoon, had gone missing with his wife nearly ten days ago.

While his lifeless body was recovered, the search for his wife, Ritu Raghuvanshi, remains incomplete.
