Shrinivas eventually got separated from his teammates during the descent. While the sherpas who accompanied him managed to return safely, Shrinivas remained missing.

The MFA said that the High Commission in New Delhi has maintained close contact with Shrinivas’ family, Nepalese authorities, and emergency medical services since Friday evening.
