"A search operation is underway. We are also mobilizing trained divers from today as part of search operations," said Bhattarai.

A 35-year-old woman Suntali Tamang who was traveling in the jeep was found dead. Her body was retrieved on Saturday. Locals had informed the police after they saw a tyre of the jeep some 100 meters below the Arniko Highway at Chhyaksa in Bahrabise Municipality-6 on Friday evening.
