Two Tourists Die During Holidays in Darjeeling Hills

Amitava Banerjee, MP, Oct 24, 2026, Darjeeling : A 35-year-old senior executive of the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL) died while on a holiday in Darjeeling on Thursday. In another incident, a 48-year-old man from Barasat died in the high reaches of Tumling below Sandakphu in Darjeeling.

Nitesh Kumar Rajak, a resident of Hind Motor in Hooghly district, was staying at a homestay in Singamari, Darjeeling, with his wife and companions as part of a Sikkim-Darjeeling tour that began on October 16.

According to police sources, Rajak collapsed inside the bathroom between 8.45 am and 9 am on Thursday. He was rushed to Darjeeling District Hospital.

“An Unnatural Death (UD) case has been registered. The deceased was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state and was declared brought dead by the attending doctors,” said Sowhik Majumdar, inspector-in-charge of Darjeeling Sadar Police Station.

No visible external injuries were noted. The attending doctor reportedly suspected cardiac arrest as the cause of death.

Earlier this week, on Tuesday, Bubai Paul (48) from Barasat, North 24-Parganas, who was staying in a homestay at Tumling (9,700 feet), complained of breathing problems.

He was rushed to the nearest medical facility at Sukhiapokhri, around 20 km away, where doctors declared him dead.
