A 35-year-old nurse tragically died in a zip-lining accident when the cable snapped at the Jungle Trialz resort near Harohalli in Karnataka’s Ramanagara district. The resort, reportedly lacking basic safety protocols and a first-aid center, is now under intense scrutiny. The incident happened around 11:15 AM last Sunday. Police promptly arrested the resort manager, Putta Madu, and have also booked the owner and other workers.
The victim, Ranjitha N, was on a group outing with 18 colleagues from the private hospital where she was employed. She is survived by her husband and two children.
The accident occurred during a zip-lining activity, police said. Despite immediate medical intervention, Ranjitha was declared dead upon arrival at Dayanand Sagar Hospital.
A case has been registered under sections 304 and 337 of the Indian Penal Code. The complaint noted the absence of essential safety measures and equipment, such as helmets, at the resort. Further investigations are ongoing, with more details expected to emerge.
